Well so much for optimizing it by adding subroutines... I just got ERR: MAX SYMBOLS. Which, according to the documentation, means the program has too many static pointers and labels.

EDIT: Although Merthsoft's Tokens program looked so promising, I just realized that even it fails to correctly handle the source file. Without any changes to the source file, compiling it with Axe yields a 9,878-byte application, which is 5 bytes smaller than it should be. I first noticed that something was wrong because no items showed up in the equip items menu, resulting in my becoming stuck and having to reset the RAM. Unfortunately it looks like I'm not going to be able to help optimize this for you unless I can find SOME program editor that will correctly handle the source file. I can tell you one fairly large optimization that I noticed right at the beginning, though:
Code: [Select]
ClrDrawr
DrawInv r
Full
For(θ,0,767
{Y1+1536+θ} and {L3+θ}→{L3+θ}
End
Is the same as:
Code: [Select]
Full
conj(Y1+1536,L3,768)
Actually, conj() uses Overwrite logic and I need AND logic for masking. So that wouldn't work. The only reason the back-buffer is being drawn completely black is just for a test. In the future, the current screen will be displayed there.

Sorry to hear about editor issues. I guess for the time being I'll have to keep optimizing it myself.

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Does anyone know how many labels is the limit before we hit MAX SYMBOLS?

What do you mean? I know there is a long pause near the beginning, but that's cuz I had to run to let the dog out back while Wabbit was capturing. It should work, though, as I used {AP}'s RFG Image Uploader, plus it works fine on my computer.

Not on mine, the RFG doesn't give me image (not even my Opening Image in New Tab)

The GIF above shows, the link doesn't work.

Glad to see there's still progress.
