Re: supaplex
Hey that's fixed! The latest version GIF and AVI capture is in pretty good shape. I should probably submit to ticalc soon to prevent spans of unavailability, though.

Re: supaplex
Glad to hear it.
Agreed that uploading to ticalc.org would be very useful in the meantime.

Re: supaplex
time to post about progess...
the engine is 99% done huraay
as im on vacation (beach=stupid ), i have plenty of time to copy the levels (i have 10 out of 111 atm...)
the compression routine al almost done (it works it just doest output anyting... )
due to compression being less effective than i thougth, this will be an 3 page app
expect a fully working demo soon

Re: supaplex
yep
the original did barely fit on a floppy (1.44 MB) btw..
the compression ratio is somewhere near 80%

Re: supaplex
thread retrieval!
i finally tackled the compression:
bytes in grey are bytes i won by compressing the level, ratio is around 70%, average is a bit higher
next task: decompressing

Re: supaplex
Well be careful, you haven't compressed something until you can decompress it
What compression techniques are you using?

Re: supaplex
lz77, and then von-huafmann
the lz77 decompresser already works, and von haufmann is pretty easy:
shift everyting 3 bits to the right
if the outcome is %111, push $30 on the "decompress stack" folowed by 8, and then 5 bits from the compressed data
if the outcome is %110, get 4 more bits and look up a table to find the correct tile
of the outcome is %***, push those 3 on the "decompress stack"
thats is, actually
