I was recently at FlashForward, and was inspired by some of Grant Skinner’s experiments using the Bitmap class. This example takes my previous plotter exercise and uses off-screen rendering instead. I also added the use of Perlin noise to feed the motion randomization routine. The result is definitely faster from the Bitmap use, and more organic from using the Perlin noise.
