Hermann, your script version won the LiveCode Script speed contest! :-) I feel humbled and grateful that many of you have taken time to look at this. Although an image dithering algorithm seems trivial an barely useful, the fact is that in this thread, we have pushed Livecode script almost to it's speed limits.
After we reach Livecode scripts natural limits, the next step is 1) creating a command line application, or 2) building an external, or (like Hermann demonstrated) 3) using Javascript within the browser widget or 4) the next frontier: Livecode widgets. This platform does not lack options to get the job done. It just require time and expertise to select the best options for each phase of a particular project. Later today, after I finished testing an application in different computers, will update the forum final's stack version with Alex and Hermann scripts. Thanks a lot again! :-D Al _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
