Hah - s/he's complaining about "slow" being 2-7 seconds...

...I remember back when I was in high school making a generator for this in BASIC on an Apple IIe, running 16 colors in the "double high res mode" (needed the 80-column card for it - only machine that had it) - and having it run for hours just to generate one image.

Slow...sigh.



I have those memories as well, only it was a Commodore 64. I believe I found the program used to generate the set in Compute! magazine and had to type it manually. Good times.


same here - regular hi res took overnight sometimes.
