 Finished optimizing the main drawing functions for uxn-playdate getting speedups ranging from 1.98x to 4.38x. Only screen_fill missing and then it's time to do audio and filesystem stuff. At this point the playdate should be able to handle pretty much any rom you throw at it (within reason). I think there is full speed parity for Oquonie compared with uxnemu. More testing is needed of course, and I could make things faster but not worth it until I can test on hardware. :uxn: 5 comments
  @bd that's sick! I was looking at the uxn core, and I think it could be to run faster. Many times you increment the stack pointer each push and pop, I was wondering if it'd be faster to move it once, and write the values with an offset, so something like PUSH(a) PUSH(b) wouldn't load the ptr twice, just once and write a at -1 and b at -2. @bd oki :) yeah I never know what turns into what, with one of the older cores, I noticed that in Compiler Explorer it would do an extra load between each. |

@bd Congratulations! This has come a long way in a very short period of time. 😃
