@streetwalker fragmentation isn't necessary for that idea, but it would make it easier.

Think of it like this:

Archive: 20000 bytes of program source.

Current offset for reading: 0

The program reads in the first 1000 bytes or so, and allows you to edit them. You insert 24 bytes.

Archive frees 24 bytes at the end, and shifts the data down until it reaches your insertion.

Your insertion is placed.

Done.

Note that this would be one of maybe 25 steps in a buffer of changes that would need to be tracked, and would be written if you ever filled said buffer or left that area of the file.

This is how good PC hex editors work.

You can't simply shift data in archive. Once you reset a bit of flash memory, you can't set it again except by erasing the entire 64KB sector to set every bit. Effectively, to make an arbitrary change to any byte of flash memory, you have to perform at least two sector erases and two sector copies. Doing this frequently is slow (think a garbage collect/defragment every time) and also probably not great for the health of the flash memory.

I was under the incorrect assumption that the sectors were smaller than that. Pity.

Uh, Unfortunately, After trying out TinyCraft II, it seems that every time I create a new game, it causes the player to be stuck in a black "area"/Unable to move. Hopefully this isnt just my calculator...

Do you just create a new game or do you also generate the map ? Because if you don't generate any map, you don't spawn in a predictable area (so you can spawn in a black area).

Yeah, but which level did you generate ? Because you start at Surface, so if you only generated Sky, you still don't spawn in a predictable area. You don't need to generate al the maps but you need to generate the ones you are on.

Oh! Thanks!   :banghead: I was too stupid to press the down arrow to select surface generation  :P

Wow, this is actually really nice!

No, It is my fault, the generator is not so clear.
Glad you like it anyway ^^
