@dave, not David 
To use the progress bar:
1/ fps:progressBarInit(“some title”) in the setup() or anywhere.
2/ fps:progressBarUpdate(x) with x between 0 and 1 when you want to update the bar.
That’s it. The bar disappears when x is 0 or 1.
@mpilgren You’re absolutely right. I wrote a similar little bit of code, ran it through 10 iterations, and was all prepared to show how the local def consistently outperformed the non-predefined example.
Then I ran it 100x more, and my “improvement” vanished into a pool of coincidence.
.@Mark @mpligrem The two js are distinct:
do
local j = 10
for j = 1,2 do
print(j)
end
print(j)
end
Produces:
1
2
10
So the loop variable is always a new variable local to the loop and initialising it outside the loop simply creates a new variable outside the loop (which is then hidden inside it).
