just in case there's any doubt: Simply change these lines in Jon's program: Main[9, 512, 4] to Main[9, 512, 4.] and it will run faster. Also, change this line: Block[{scene = Create[level, {0, -1, 4}, 1]}, to Block[{scene = Create[level, {0., -1., 4.}, 1.]}, will make it faster further. (both of which are in my version. The “Block” can be replaced with “With”.) As i said, this error in a Mathematica code in the context of speed is a major blunder. His denial makes him a stubborn moron.
