Its interesting why Matrixes would be faster than a list, because in calculator memory, a matrix would be stored exactly the same as a list (calculators don't have 2d memory XD) so there must be some other thing that is giving the speed difference.
You're forgetting the extra overhead of calculating the element's position in the list ;)  [A](A,B) compared to L1(20A+B)

*You are correct about them being stored the same in memory, and since every element is of the same type (and thus same number of bytes per entry) access time is (nearly) identical.

For  a few years, I always wondered why many basic programmers suggested people to avoid using matrices for tilemaps and always use lists instead. I never understood why lists were so much better than matrices. I know about being able to name them however you want, but the names just make the code even larger

Perhaps because when you store them in programs as raw recalled value they take up less space?  I guess they both have their tradeoffs, but they aren't really that different after all :D

Oh, maybe that. Matrices are sure large inside a program compared to a list due to all [ and ] chars

indeed.  I remember when I made My original xLib Trapped, I had 25 raw matrices that were 12x8 inside my program.  I think the entire program was 13000 bytes or something XD

Hmmmm... considering that... Should I hardcode the maps in list and convert it into matrix???
Or keep the matrix???

If the tilemaps will contain only integers, you could use this </shameless_plug>

I didn't try the program yet, but I did it myself and the change was so~~~ slow..... -_-
Unless your program instantaneously changes str to mat, I think I'm just gonna have to live with hardcoded matrix :'(

Well, it's in Asm and it takes about a quarter second to convert a 2048 byte string into a 32x32 matrix on my 84+SE :)

It might be the whole Asm( command issue. Have you guys ever tried ROL3? That should give you an idea of how slow "Asm(" can get when you have many sub-programs and low RAM.

Yeah... I did it with BASIC, because I want my game to be 100% BASIC, except probably XCOPY, because I need to go over the RAM limit :)
Thanks for suggesting anyway~
