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.
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
), 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

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

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

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

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
