Try turning off the "burnin" effect in the XML file. That uses a TON of CPU.


Yeah, but it looks SO COOL.

Speaking of which, if anyone has got access to a good fast algorithm for doing that trick (bitmap A overlaid atop bitmap B, draw a black outline around all non-transparent pixels in bitmap A), please share it.

When TonyC was developing it, we discussed the brute-force method he was using to do that trick and I was sure there had to be a faster way to get the job done that wouldn't require so many if/then tests. Unfortunately my feeble little brain couldn't come up with any alternatives, nor could I find an example to convince him that a faster algorithm must exist somewhere. But in my heart of hearts, I just KNOW there's gotta be a faster way to do it.

Tony, wanna post a brief description of your current method?
