Ah ok. Well that seems doable then.

Oh, so that's what RLE stands for haha. That'd be awesome Any news on some of the other tutorials you were working on?

So lately (well not really lately...but ya) I have noticed that I have been having trouble reading a lot of the Axe discussions because people are getting into bytes, bits, nibbles, etc. etc. etc. I could be the only one here (though I doubt it) but I just don't quite understand that stuff because I haven't really found good places to understand them or I haven't fully understood what people meant when trying to describe what they mean. Does anyone have good links, book/e-book suggestions, tutorials, explanations, anything really that could help me and other people like me to help understand those concepts?

One reason I'm asking this is because I'm one of those people who doesn't like to use code just because it works, I like to understand it and know how it works and why. (Ex: When I first experienced the use of max( and min( in movement code I literally spent a few minutes breaking it down to see how it worked because it bugged me )

Any help is greatly appreciated

You can pretty much already post all the characters on the forum. As far as I know the only one you can't really is the inverted equal sign.

On topic: Sweet. I'll have to try this out

Well there are technically eight But ya, I'll to that in a minute.

Edit: Here are all 16 programs. X?.8xp is the source code and MAGX?.8xp is the executable.

Could someone take a look at my routine/s and tell me what they think and all? Just haven't heard anything about it and I'm a bit curious, not trying to sound rude or anything.

Edit: By the way, here is a basic and not efficient way for displaying a 16*16 sprite.

.SPT16X16
ClrDraw
[FFFFC0C0C0C0C0C0
FFFF030303030303
C0C0C0C0C0C0FFFF
030303030303FFFF]→Pic1
Pt-On(0,0,Pic1
Pt-On(8,0,Pic1+8
Pt-On(0,8,Pic1+16
Pt-On(8,8,Pic1+24
DispGraph
Like I said this is probably really inefficient. There are better methods of doing this. This just shows the displaying four sprites to make one large one thing DJ said.

@Quigibo
Because they technically aren't the same thing. Force already has gravity in it while mass doesn't. Unless you are talking about like when it displays you have the mass displayed and then it also shows the acceleration of gravity? I'm not entirely sure what you are asking but ya...I don't know

Actually technically a pound is a measure of mass and a pound-force is the measurement of force. Both are just abbreviated lb (or can be; mass is technically lb, lbm, lb_m and force is lb, lbf, or lb_f).

To convert from lb_m to kg all you do is multiply by 0.45359237 kg. Then to turn lb_f into N you just multiply by both 0.45359237 kg and 9.80665 m/s². So one lb_f equals about 4.44822 N.

Edit: What you could do is differentiate between the two by making the user type in either lbm or lbf and then have the two separate conversions.
