Dynamic textures

[jansoft]

Hello,
i am using some sort of dynamic textures - textures, which i need to compute in runtime, and i was thinking about the fastest way. Somthing like this :

beginscene();
computetextures();
drawtextures();
present();

:idea: 1. after creating textures i am adding it into list. After drawing them (Powerdraw.Device.Present) I am NOT destroying them, but only moving into "unused" list and "recycling" in next round.

:idea: 2. i was using writescanline, but i thing better is to lock whole texture.
LifePower, can you please provide Lock/Unlock methods to be public in next release ? thanx

Could you please tell me some another speed improvements ?

thank you very much for your brain-share , Jansoft

It's better to have:

class
private
  tex1, tex2: TEXTURE
....

begin
...
  COMPUTE(tex1);
  DRAW(tex2);
  SWAP(tex1, tex2)
  Present()
...
end

So currently generated texture is rendered in next frame.
