Scratch

SlikkerRenderer is a new rendered for scratch. It is made for 100% customisation, however, the user has a preset rainbow gradient if no code is supplied.

What you need to know about SR:

DPL - Definitions Per Line
Currently, the canvas is 100px x 100px. This can be changed with a few tweaks. DPL (Definitions per line) is how many pixels should be rendered in a line. Simple gradients (vertical) should use 1DPL. This is because one colour is used on one line. Now, let's say you wanted to draw pictures unto the canvas which were animated. This is Heavy DPL. Heavy DPL is when the DPL variable reaches highs of 80 and above. This means that in every line, a heavy amount of DPL is demanded. This means the rendered needs to take more time and precisions in rendering, slowing down the process.


Compare:

1DPL     -     Used for gradients (vertical)     -     180-250FPS
100DPL  -     Used for heavy gaming.            -     7-8FPS.
