@tty only just ported to immediate opcodes, the optimization was to the dei/deo opcodes.

video please 🙏

@tty the DEO opcode doesn't do a function call for most ports, so when you set Screen/x DEO2, for example, it writes the short, but does not do a emu_deo() call.

It turned out that this is where the emulator wasted most of its time.

@tty

#1234 .Screen/x DEO2:

deo(0x28, 0x12)
deo(0x29, 0x34)

the deo function is super heavy to begin with, but not only that, it's just not needed in this case, all we want is to write 2 bytes in memory, no need to call any function because not screen event will trigger anyways.

@tty exactly! 😀

@tty 🤔 you're right

8000 ? that's also not over 9000, and one too many !

thats way more rabbits than 100

@floatvoid I was originally aiming for 100, I can't imagine anyone needing to animate more than one hundred rabbits at any one time.
