hmmm....
-=-=-

I'm going to ignore that for the minute, and fix it later.
Hopefully it doesn't screw up everything else..

That's an olde-iPod, btw.. On a Retina one it looks just fine. No idea why!

Download....
The Crazy Messy Test
.... Get It!

Run it.

Where is it!?
If you're on a mac, run Skel.
If you're on anything else, the Skel.app thing will be a folder.
Open the folder, and run the .exe that's inside, or if you've any other gadget that it looks like it might possibly work on, try to figure out how to do that!!

Source is also included, so if you have GLBasic, feel free to have a fiddle!!
If you can speed anything up or "fix" anything, let me know

What to do
What "should" happen, is the grid pops up on your screen, and the numbers on the top right will all jiggle about a bit.
After a while, you should see it settle down a bit, and you should have an approximate "My system can handle this many sprites" number, to post below.
It aims for 55fps due to odd fluctuations. It's easier that way

Resolutions
If you're running on an X/Y/Z device, you'll only get it's native resolution (assuming you can get it to run, and it doesn't fuck up like the image up top!)

If you're running on a computer, you'll want to try a couple of resolutions for me
F2, F3 and F5
F2 does 640x480, F3 does 800x600 and F5 does 1024x768
You can also try out F1,F6,F7 and F8, but.. they're not essential!

Lemmie know how you manage, and post your stats below..

MacMini
640x480 - 8100
800x600 - 8100
1024x768 - 5000

Crappy Dying PC
640x480 - 6500
800x600 - 6500
1024x768 - 1000!!

Better PC
640x480 - 7500
800x600 - 7500
1024x768 - 5000

iPod Retina
229 @29fps


Oh, and ... I'll see what I can do about the mouse! It's a bit annoying, isn't it...
