i saw something similar a few time, like there was a programmed world of bacteria breeding. theres also some guy who made a sort of arena and had two types of robots going around. one type got energy from its solar cells, and the other type sucked the energy out.
i think you could reduce the lag if you changed the way you draw, instead of using the form-like Pen thing. try using fastdrawing, if you fill a bitmap with a color then use FastDrawSizeTransparent it should draw it faster and with less lag
something like this
Code:
var
buffer,man,woman:integer;
begin
buffer := bitmapfromstring(200, 200, '')
man := bitmapfromstring(1, 1, '')
fastdrawclear(man, clblue)
woman := bitmapfromstring(1, 1, '')
fastdrawclear(woman, clgreen)
displaydebugimgwindow(200, 200)
repeat
fastdrawclear(buffer, 0)
fastdrawsizetransparent(20, 20, 25, 25, man, buffer)
fastdrawsizetransparent(30, 30, 35, 35, woman, buffer)
safedrawbitmap(buffer, getdebugcanvas, 0, 0)
wait(10)
until(false)
end.
