okay, no exact guesses?  I guess I'll have to give myself a gold star.  I expect to optimize no less than 10057 bytes.

you don't know how badly it was written.  A rewrite would take at most 4 hours and it would chop off 2/3rds indeed.

thanks, It might not actually take that long to chop down believe it or not

That's something unique about Axe -- you can start making games almost immediately, but by the time a few weeks pass, you realize how much more optimized it could have been

Pyyrix is Assembly methinks.

DT is right -- and scout, it's Axe

indeed it is

here's a question for you all: how much do you think I can optimize off?  I know the answer already, but I'm interested in what you think.  It's currently at 15K executable code.  What will it be after optimizations?  Winner gets a gold star.
