Looks neat, but it's very sluggish. I kinda wish that I could just edit the field and type a value myself. Also I somehow got: shift += --99

It went into minus and I couldn't bring it back.




You're right - it is a bit sluggish. That's something we have to work on. We also need to fix the double negative issue.

That said, you should be able to type in a value yourself. The code is completely editable.


You'll have to do some more memoization to make the performance reasonable; recomputing and redrawing everything on each change isn't very scalable. I'm working on a programming model for this:

However, when you change something inside the loop, its likely that everything will have to be re-executed. The only way around this is to break up the loop somehow. Or perhaps see Umut's work on self-adjusting computation:

Its an interesting research area.
