No, it doesn't work. This is better:


Code:


Edit: And I see you edited your code. Oh well.

hey, I fixed it before you posted up your solution

I'm wondering if _player1537 is writing a text-editing routine...

I know you did, but I wrote my post last night and forgot to post it until this morning, at which point I saw your edit. I bet _player1537 is indeed writing a text-editing routine.

lol, that wasn't what I was doing...but I might now

Anyways I was doing this for my programming GUI, so if you picked an "If" statement it would ask for the variable and you wouldn't have to press alpha then the variable.

Mouse Routine
This routine displays a mouse on the screen, gathers input to move it, and lets you draw anything in between without worrying about the mouse screwing it up. If A is set to one, a left click (2nd) occured, and if it is set to two, a right click (Alpha) occured. This is meant to be included in a loop, and getKey is stored to K at the beginning so you can use it. Additionally, the mouse coordanites are stored in LMOUSE so you can draw it yourself.


Code:

Here's the same code, optimized and with several bugs fixed:


Code:

Code:


This is just begging to use xLib.

On a side note, I modified a project called xDCS a while back, and it does something similar. ( Get it here --> http://www.cemetech.net/programs/index.php?mode=file&path=/83plus/basic/programs/OPENxDCS.zip ) The mouse is accelerated, can be set to automatically snap to points on the screen, and (as with the original xDCS,) will draw windows, buttons, and such for you.


Here's a link to the original xDCS topic: (http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3595&highlight=xdcs)

8X8 Sprite to Hex


Inputs:
X- x position of sprite
Y- y position of sprite


Code:


92 bytes assuming X and Y are 0.

edit: i just noticed the line is too large to be displayed correctly.. so as a note, there are only 5 lines in the actual program, even if 6 are displayed in the code box. lines 3 and 4 in the code box are meant to be one.

What's B?

B is the variable used by seq()

Ooops, didn't catch that. Never mind then.

The optimizer in me wishes some of those closing parentheses could get lopped off, but that would require putting the seq( on a line by itself, and the sub needs Ans for itself.

same with me kerm. you could probably modify it to get rid of 2^(3-B) and have that part as 2^B and modify the seq to pxl-test from right to left. i think that's more bytes, though. i'm unsure if my routine is the best though. i think it's just obfuscated.

half second faster, 20 bytes larger, ten times more neat:


Code:

If only good sir Weregoose was here to offer his seal of approval or an alternative (cough, cough). I don't see anything you could do with the current code without making it longer though, so cheers on tight code, at any rate. It would have to be a conceptual change to make it smaller, imho.

i could only wish to optimize as well as Weregoose. the problem is you have to make 64 pxl-test()s, organizing them is the challenge. maybe you could make a program that reads each byte of the sprite rather than nibble.. i'm experimenting already.
edit: you would need an obnoxiously long string. i just realized.

True; you could generate the string on the fly, and cache it for multiple runs, but the 512-character string cost wouldn't be worth it, in my humble opinion.

you actually don't need a large string. i edited two posts up and it shows some code that reads 8 pixels at a time. however, it uses two sub() calls

Resistor Value to Color Code

This code turns an ohm value like 5700 in X into a color code value like 5,7,2 in A, B, C (57*10^2 ohms):

Code:

Check code speed

This code will test <code> to see how long it takes to execute. It will consistently return the same value for the same piece of code (as opposed to the other method that sometimes returns the same thing)


Code:

Wouldn't you rather want to do:

Code:

so that it will actually wait until a second has started?

checkTmr as I said before doesn't use decimals, which is why it's inaccurate and needs an iteration method, along with after doing more than 500 iterations, plus or minus one fraction of a second doesn't mean almost anything.
