Don't know whether this would help you or not, and it takes a lot of effort, but in the end you become quite intimately familiar with your code. XD

Take the time to get a 3-5 subject notebook, and write out ALL your code, program by program. This will allow you to easily and quickly know what your program will do when it reaches certain things. I did it for pokemon and I was able to spot optimizations like no other, and clean up my variable usage considerably, giving my 13 free, unused variables.

And I have never used XCOPY either before o.o Resource has been an amazing program for what I have needed, guessing these two are similar in usage?

I think so, what does Resource do?

And I already have a nice diagram of program flow, but I think I will expand it some :)

Resource copies programs from RAM or ROM into a temp program, can be either asm or basic.

As to the program flow, that's not what I meant. XD

I mean you write out ALL your code, except data programs, on paper. As long as you have good handwriting, so you can read what you wrote. XD

Yep, thats what XCOPY does.

Oh, that would take a while O.O I have a lot of code.  I'd probably type it tho, my hand would get tired.

lol, I know what you mean, I half filled a 5 subject notebook, with the 50 someodd programs and 88kb of code that I have XD took me like a week to do it all x.x

Either way, as it is I will have to wait until finals are over XD.  As it is I'm wasting enough time working on Serenty/Castle Storm and coming over here to post :P

Wow!  As for me, I print out code from Graphlink and optomise from there.

I'm glad you're working on this some.  Good luck with the jump!

Hey yeah!  Why would't you just use graphlink tifreak?! :P well I think that would be good, but I need to wait for the printer to start working again, main computer got a virus (all my stuff is safe).  Then I can start mapping out where subprograms will condense to.

I use Sourcoder 2 and it helps because if you don't mind spending money on ink, you can colour the syntax, and indent to help with loops and if's

That's too bad that you infected your computer Builderboy...try to be careful next time :P

Psshhhhhh, it's not MY computer, I have my own laptop, but it's the main computer that is connected to the printer so I always have to print through the main one (we call it Big dog XD)

Watch out when using XCOPY. Iambian made this program specifically so Illusiat 13 uses as less bytes of ASM code as possible. I never encountered crashes in the version included with Illusiat 13 so far but I never really accidentally used wrong syntax with it before, and it's still new, so backup first!

Yeah, i make frequent backups.  I also tested XCOPY's effect on program speed the more it is used.  I thought it might make a lot of garbage if used frequently, but after 200 copies and deletes of a large file, there was no aparent slowdown, so props to Iambian for creating a good sub!

i tried writing out my codes, but then again, I changed the code so frequently that the writing got so messy I couldn't read it... :P

Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

Lol, that is why I write at the top 'outdated xx/xx/xx' and write it out on a new page :p

And sounds like xcopy works well. ^_^
