Excellent!

I’m hoping I can release a “lite” version without the 3D visualiser this weekend.

Splendid , thanks

... I'm not a Programmer , but perhaps instead to create a separate "lite" version you can keep the main program adding a button where there are animation themes , which allows Animation on or off ?

If you want to give v16 a go, there’s an option (button at the top of the interface) for turning the graphics on or off – it’s on by default so you’ll need to turn it off before hitting “Play”.

It’s possible this version will reintroduce the original problem, even with the graphics off. If so, I’ll have to go back to the idea of having a separate “lite” version to keep the CPU load down.

You are right ,

being set to "On" by default it doesn't start (same as version 14)

That’s frustrating.

I’ve just uploaded “lite” version 1, which just has the static backgrounds and no animations. I hope this works for you.

Checked the "lite" version and it is OK . It works but what I don't understand is that CPU and RAM loads are the same as for version 15 with 3D animation ! ( approx 25% CPU and 50% RAM) but could be OK.

That’s disappointing. RAM usage I would expect to be the same, since it’s still loading the same instruments into memory, but I really thought the CPU usage would drop. I’m afraid I’m out of ideas for further improvements at this point.

Dear sarrowsmith

No problem for me . since the important is to be able to us it and for that I thank you again.

All the best
