matrices are ok, but they hog memory, so it cuts down on how many maps you can have...

not if u store them in prgms

hm ok i have 2 admit, I

you could store them as lists/strings and covert them to matrices

Spellshaper · « **Reply #108 on:** December 15, 2005, 05:31:00 am »

huh? lists are about the same size as matrices...
and strings are uber-slow...
I already store them into prgms...
I once figured out that storing my maps directly as lists/matrices would occupy about 130kB+

tifreak · « **Reply #109 on:** December 15, 2005, 09:15:00 am »

Well, strings are about a quarter the size of matrix maps, and the amount of maps that I am gonna have...

Hopefully I might have some new screenshots of the game up in the next day or so...

Maybe you could have a program (ASM) that reads map files and outputs the current map to a matrix? That way all the data would be in one file in compressed format. All you'd need is to know which map to load.

1. is there such a program?
2. if not, who

lol, I wish I had the time to learn asm. I can't say not having the resources are my problem anymore...

I shall see what happens with the way things are going now, though...

Well, that would probaly be the best way to store maps. I'm compressing my maps before releasing the Pok

If only I understood how lists and matrixes worked in asm, then I could do it. Those were the only things I couldn't understand and I eventually gave up trying.

Anyways, I like the idea of storing in programs and then archive them, but if you are running into a space issue, then you may need to stick with strings.

tifreak · « **Reply #116 on:** December 16, 2005, 02:48:00 am »

Well, the strings are being stored in programs, and being called on when neccessary, the programs won't exceed 5000 bytes, and there will be one program that identifies which section you are in, unarchives the file, displays the map, and then rearchives the file.

This is the best way I have found to do it thus far...

just one thing: use resource/xLib0.6 to copy the prgm to RAM...

-> die GarbageCollect die!!!!!!! :gun1:

tifreak · « **Reply #118 on:** December 16, 2005, 04:51:00 am »

Yeah, I keep sayin I want to use resource, or I need to, but I just never do get motivated enough to grab it. I am lazy you know...

huh O_O

;

Since I started BM in Summer 2004, I have recoded the whole engine twice... the first time due to my inablility to code good BASIC

and to integrate CODEX, and then again for xLib, resource and zapi83 (I need the feature not to update the lcd after doing a rectangle)

and now I
