I try to find out what is this FP script syntax mean.

1. p^.red = bla...bla...bla
(what is the ^ symbol mean. How to write it in Lua?.

2. Phase
Inc(x, -1) -- I knew this mean x = x + (-1)

but in graphics

color = red

Inc(color) -- this should be color = green

How to write it in Lua?

1: ^ means dereference the pointer that p points to

2: i have no idea what x is, what it points to

You can not use pointer in lua unless you use memory access functions like writeIntegerLocal, which defeats the purpose of using direct memory access to speed things up

If you want stuff to go faster, write a plugin for CE in whatever language you like(except lua) load it with CE, and then pass it the canvas handle(GDI) which you can then use to draw with in that other language

Thanks DB, for explanation and suggestion. Yes, the progress using get/set pixel on graphics in Lua is extremely slow because using direct memory access.
And sure, I start considering to use a plugin especially for graphics processing in CE.
