yes, the counters were incremented

while y <= 180     // creates a 180 x 180 array
   while x <= 180
     while Rose_object <= 360 cylinders

       rose has parameters (a, b)
             find all roses for ->
             a <= 180    // start a = 1 and increment
             b <= 180    // start b = 1 and increment
            some values return errors,  skip those
            algorithm has about 14 variables that change for each loop.

      end
  x = x + 1
a = a + 1
b = b + 1
   end
y = y+1
end

I reran the file
for x < 50
    y < 50

the file creates 900000  cylinders

parse time 42 minutes
render time 7 minutes

anything larger, will of course take more time.
And it is impossible to run for x < 180 and y < 180 without more memory.

Unfortunately , I can't upload an attachment.
