Im for sure sticking to 3x3 sprites.  And right now its exactly the same speed as 2x2 because i changed nothing but the sprites.  My question is whether or not i should also update the physics, which would make boxes take more processing power, which would mean less of them possible in one room.

will bad things happen if i do the following code:

Code: [Select]

For(A,1,8
0→{L3-A}
End


Hmmm most likely something bad will happen, you are writing to a place that is not inside the Safe Ram dedicated to the AppBackupScreen (where L3 is pointing to).  What are you trying to accomplish?

Actually that's not entirely correct. You can have approx. 8100 bytes of executed code, but your data can extend beyond that limit. As long as you don't execute across the 8100 line ($C000), you're fine, so reorganizing data sometimes pays off. (i.e. putting it all at the end of the program binary)

Thats true for MirageOS or other Shells, but for asm program run from the home screen, data counts.  try this in Axe:

.Axe
Zeros(9001)->Str1
Output(0,0,"OHAI
you get an Asm program thats mostly data, and yet the TiOS throws an Error Invalid upon execution.  The limit on the home screen is about 8100 of program size.  The limit for shells is about 8800 of executable.

And thanks Quigibo I need to check the auto optimizations list more often, and stop being a silly programer thanks!

Yeah for Nostub the limit I think is 8100 bytes about including data.  Silly TI

I have a version of Axe that compiles the App, so memory isnt a problem anymore.  I have just been using MirageOS because it has a faster compile time, and as of now my program is still small enough to be run.

On a different note, i discovered that my game engine spent roughly 18% of its time multiplying by 18 o.O Since i was multiplying by 18 in my collision code, things were slowing down.  Soooo i changed

A*18
to

A*2*2*2*2+A+A
And almost 18% of the computational time has been removed .  Also, Quigibo, correct me if im wrong, but boolean expressions in Axe are actualy slower than their corospondinf If Statements right?  So

X-51->D
If A>30000
D+307->D
End
is faster than

A>30000*307-51+D->E
Right?  Since one multiplies by 307 and the other does not.

Wow, only 29 so far?  Could have sworn it was more Well in that case 32 should be more than enough Since a single Axiom could more than double the amount of sub's available to a program :O

Immovable turrets kinda defeats the original purpose of turrets though, which is to find some way to either get behind them or knock them over with boxes.  Oh well, i think the game will be fine without them

As for Level Editor, definetaly.  I will probably just modify the current level creator i have to be a bit more user friendly and bug free.
