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.

Glad to hear it. :D

Agreed that uploading to ticalc.org would be very useful in the meantime.

time to post about progess...

the engine is 99% done huraay
as im on vacation (beach=stupid :x ), 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... :D )
due to compression being less effective than i thougth, this will be an 3 page app

expect a fully working demo soon :yes:

Three pages, whoa! 111 Levels is the complete game, right?

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 :P

Well be careful, you haven't compressed something until you can decompress it :)

What compression techniques are you using?

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 :D
