Oh also forgot to mention i added a new tile :] Im not quite sure what to call it, but its a small hole that goes through a wall and you can shoot portals through it but you cant move through it. Its very handy dandy :]
Happy to announce with that some more code reworking i have managed to decrease the size of levels once again Even though the data for buttons took up 2 bytes, the tile for the button added around 2-4 bytes of data to be inserted, since its such a small tile, it interrupts lots of flow with the run-length--encoding. Plasma balls are even worse, with 3 bytes of object data, and an additional 4-8 bytes of tile data.
However, now all tile data is discretely inserted into the tilemap by the generator after the decompression but before the display. So now the workings of the tilemap displayer works like this:
0) Load tilemap data 1) Decompress Data into Tilemap 2) Initialize objects 3) Insert object tile data 4) Display map dynamically
The include files will not need Axe headers and in fact should not have them so then it doesn't crowd your compiling list. If its not included in 0.4.2, it will definitely be in 0.4.3
That sounds really sweet I've been waiting for libraries for a long time now. Right now i have a different system in place to go through code quickly I have a set of Pointers that i initialize at the beginning of m,y program, one for each subroutine. Each subroutine its pointer at the very beginning. By commenting out the initialization of the pointer, i can scroll to the sub instantly, which is much more useful than scrolling for a min to get to the bottom.
Plus using libraries means that you can upgrade sections of code while still keeping a backup of that particular subroutine. It all makes me very excited
3D i like the idea of Mesh and filled things, just because
On a separate note, i would like a request for 2 things, Libraries pleeeeeeeases and maybe a way to jump to certian lables from inside programs? Like if you had a comment that was .Goto LB and you put your cursor on that line and pressed On+[anykey] it would jump to that label? Im not sure if thats possible, just throwing that out there as a possibility.
That might be a stretch at best, but even if it is allowed, the originality score would also drop depending on how much you use the routines. If you are using these for yourself i would just recommend importing them into your program and running them normally.
I have another feature request. Could it be possible to support every single character token in the String conversion routine? It would be handy to not have some of the characters change themselves while in Axe :]
