I just found this cellular automata program video on Youtube:
It looks pretty cool :D Too bad there is no download link.
-
Wha, that looks pretty awesome! Nice find!
-
Wa :o is it plain basic ? (although I guess yeah since no one has hacked the Prime yet afaik)

Wow, that's pretty awesome! O.O Nice find!

yeah it's pure Basic.
-
This is another example showing the Prime's capabilities. Awesome ! :D
-
Now imagine what we could do with asm on the prime.... ::)
-
Oo" I totally forgot that the hp50 has a touch screen. By the way, how do you color the cells?

400MHz cpu + 2D acceleration = win. :D
-
so let's play majoras mask :D

There is a download link. if you go to the site pointed to in the video, you get to here http://calc.fjk.ch/?p=826#more-826 (http://calc.fjk.ch/?p=826#more-826), which has the source of the program. If you want to run it in the simulator, you will have to change the #'s to ≠'s, because copy-pasting those must not work correctly.

/me suggests fruit ninja
/me runs
:P

With 2D acceleration and the speed of basic on this thing, that should be doable with BASIC.

Oh ok thanks.

Off-topic-ish, but still related to HP Prime performances, someone posted a sierpinski triangle program and video that generates the thing in 6 seconds, which is pretty impressive. Sadly, since the author's past and repeated criminal activities towards some TI-Planet staff (IRL and online) and TI-Planet itself, along with repeated rule-breaking over here and there, I think it is now against Omnimaga and TI-Planet rules to link to any of his webpages, let alone mention him. The triangle can easily be found via search engines, though.
There is also a mandelbrot program by Tim Wessman there, although this one is kinda slow. There are also some interesting graphs, there, which maybe Tim, Critor or Kerm could try on a real calc to see how fast they are. I wonder if advanced graphs could actually be used for animated game backgrounds?

There hasn't been much activity in the HP Prime world lately (most likely a different schedule that HP guys have with their jobs compared to students at school, so I assume that activity will pick up this Summer), but Patrice just posted this Conway's Game of Life program on MoHPC:
http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-555.html
I tried it and I get around one frame every 4.5 second, which isn't great and possibly shows HP PPL limits, but the author says it isn't optimized, so maybe he will manage to make it faster. Nonetheless, the performance is sure way better than anything TI-BASIC could ever have produced. :)
EDIT: Here's a screenshot of his program
