Wow im rele in need of some Matrix,list, and string compressors. Because seriously I have this game that would be a lot easier to play if I could put a loading screen in and have all the things decompressed.

I don't know if there are, and it may not really be worth it.

No like say there was a matrix
[4,2,5,7]
[2,4,76,5]
[10,1,5,6]
[24,2,6,1]
155 Bytes

Then compressed into a list it is

{4257,24,1,5,1,156,1,261,761024}
90 Bytes

1 is a token to double numbers which a listed at the end

it shouldn't be that hard to make one yourself in BASIC.Here's my idea.I'd recommend compressing to string.For isntance:
[1,2,3]
[4,5,6]
[7,8,9]
(92 bytes)
becomes "100200300400500" (the 00's represent empty spaces so you can fit 3 digit numbers)
(38 bytes)
Then when you decompress,use
:expr(sub(str,X,3->[A](A,B

just run that command through a loop,and it should work

That's a great idea but then you can only transfer ten compressed levels, but that helped me because the list form of that which is {100200300,400500600,700800900} and that is 41 bytes and you can transfer many compressed levels like that.

I have a String to List converter I made that converts Strings to Lists and compresses them... I could take that and just leave the compression part and have a list compressor right there...

That's cool and if you want to you could post the code.

Dragon__lance · « **Reply #7 on:** August 06, 2006, 06:12:00 am »

i'd still recomend using string compression,if your worried about number of levels it can compress.Just fit all your levels into 1 string.Then use a character like '-' to mark where one level ends and another begins.Then use-
:instring(str,'-',1

to find the location and start compressing from there.But if you want to use list compression,heres an idea.
:{100200300,400500600,700800900}->L1
:int(E-6L1(1->[A](1,3

basically use decimels to divide up the data

Your actually right i think string compression would be better

Well I made something like this for my Tank game, which compressed one of my maps data 84%. The code allows for decimals, for actions in game.

how fast did it ran?

Here are my string to list and list to string converters.
Results are stored in Ans.

@kevin: It depends on the size, but for my 24x16 (WxH) it took 10 seconds on average.

@pyro_xp2k: Looks like it could be simpler, but it looks like it would work. And you may want to look at not using lbls.

Demon · « **Reply #13 on:** August 06, 2006, 10:58:00 am »

Yeah, they could be simpler. They both error-correct so that's one reason they're a bit larger.

Dragon__lance · « **Reply #14 on:** August 06, 2006, 11:04:00 am »

oooooo,i'd love to see the code for that kalan_vod
