Re: LZ: Variables and Compression



It would be nice if such could be done with tokenized TI-Basic programs,
since tokenizing them seems to increase their size.  It just becomes
machine language as well right?  It would just be that you wouldn't be able
to edit the program unless you uncompressed it...

: about the compression stuff, i'm starting on a compression program that
: should compress string vars. although, with the method i'm usingg, i need
: some way(in tibasic) to figure out if a subbed character is a character
or
: a number. is this possible? here is how i hope it will work in the
future:
: the string "99A" will uncompress to 99 uppercase A's so, with this
method,
: the zshell games won't compress too well since there aren't too many
: characters in them that are consecutively congruent. although, if i can
: find out how to convert them to binary strings, i would hope that they
would
: shrink tremendously. i hope this works..............
