About

Jason Harper's 1989 filled-polygon demo, with the frame rate on screen (around 16 fps for the cube on a stock machine) and Tab to step through the objects. Harper wrote some of the fastest GS graphics code of the period (he is the author of the SHR converters and 3200-colour work the Brutal Deluxe docs still cite) and Polygonia was his public benchmark.
