Tilemap optimization
« on: February 06, 2011, 08:20:48 pm »
Can anyone make a faster tilemapping engine than this? It can display a full map in approximately a tenth of second.



The engine has to have a rudimentary object collection system, some sort of object display screen, complete collision detection, and full screen map display...

... in pure BASIC.

I imagine you are storing the string directly in your program, displaying it with output, and then using sub() for collision?

Well, the string is stored externally and there's a lot of math surrounding that Sub( command, but close enough :P

that's actually what I got to.  I don't think you can really make it much faster than that, but there are ways to compress the strings (though I forget the method, and it's a bit slow)

I think the only way to make it faster is to have the map stored in a string and a second copy in a pic (where solid tiles are all white), then do pxl-test collision detection. I think Builderboy did that in Trapped.

Almost right.  I had the strings stored in my program, and then instead of Output()ing them onto the homescreen, i Text()ed them onto the graph screen.  It took longer to display maps, but i was able to use pxl-test() for collision, which made movement faster

Oh ok the pxl-test was directly on the displayed chars. I assume this must not work with many chars, right, though?

Yeah, i was very limited to the characters I was able to use, since they all had to have the same pixel on

TI-Basic? It looks so fast! With Correlation it could be improved, but Pure Basic! It looks really fast ;D
