Loopy things: Alphabets the Hard Way

In other words, the first loop outputs something like this, and the second loop does Lookup from this output based on Position:

So now I can do this. Must be the worst pain-to-gain ratio in Filter Forge history, so let's just call it a proof-of-concept of what might be possible with loops if it were a bit more streamlined.

SpaceRay, it pains me to read some of your posts picking at FF's speed. We know enough about it, you complained about it across multiple threads, so why do you insist on slipping known irritations into a thread that really challenges what FilterForge is technically capable of? I mean you're sneaking mini critiques and feature requests almost every 10 posts made on these forums. What makes you think writing all that helps a program you use? Do you think that pressuring people into submission helps develop a program? It's not like I'm saying leave the problem to rest, I'm more annoyed at your lack of ability to stop yourself from bringing up the same discussion we had since 2009 or 10 or whenever. I've been trying to ignore some (not all) of your posts since last year. It's impossible when you leave so much.

I'm extremely sorry I had to waste other people's time and space over this matter. I can accept and understand several people being critical about such problem, but I can't believe how 1 person, a regular member of these forums, is capable of conjuring impudent commentaries across multiple months. I wasted my own time writing back.

I'd like to be humble and nice and all... just wanna talk n discuss things that make cool stuff happen... but sometimes people get in the way. Come on SpaceRay, when will you take it seriously? GIANT SIGH.

ThreeDee, you have a lovely thing going. I do also realize the render times are a issue. I was making a filter myself and ran into a 9 minute render wall. That's a bit too much and I mildly do wish FilterForge does something about it myself. I've kinda figured tiny improvements on my own stuff... but I kinda feel it's coming down to being "that sort of thing" in the end.

Using CFandM's Random Path "reverse" offset method speeded this up from the previous 12-minute render to one minute. That is most encouraging, we're getting down to a tolerable range.
