Need For Speed
- 1. Need For SpeedEvery car has a lot of speed in it. The trick is getting the speed out of it. – A J Foyt.

- 3. SpeedIts AddictiveDISCLAIMER:We acknowledge that wikipedia makes it sound so cool but don’t try drugs.
- 4. Speed is awesomeApps feel lightweight.Brings the web to awhole new experience.Faster Pixel Math e.g. Computer Vision.
- 5. And it can be deadly tooPremature optimization is the root of all evil - Donald Knuth.Design first, optimize later.
- 6. Sharpening the toolsFaster Algorithms
- 7. Code Tricks & Best Practices
- 10. Thin RuntimesWhy its important to usThe only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. - Arthur Clarke.
- 11. Contestants, start your engines
- 12. Who can push most pixels ?JavaScript (HTML5)Java (Applet)ActionScript 2.0ActionScript 3.0Silverlight 3.0Alchemy v0.5a / + Pixel BenderHaxe 2.05 with memory APIObjective-C / + GCDWebGLOpenGLPixel
- 13. The rules… No Cheating!!Create a massive amount of points in 3D Pixel Cloud.
- 14. Draw the pixel cloud on the screen every frame.
- 15. Reduce/increase particles until frame rate is close to 20 FPS.
- 16. Language specific optimisations allowed.The CreatureMac Book Pro 15”2.66GHz Core 2 Duo4GB RamGeForce 9400m(256 MB)Mac OSX (10.6.3)
- 17. The AlgorithminitBitmap();createParticles();//every framerenderParticles();Adjust particles until frameRate ~= 20FPS.
- 18. Performance ComparisonsShow each demo. (The fun stuff)Briefly explain code.Measure number of particles when they become stable.Plot in Excel Chart.
