Axe Q&A

Buff(768)->GDB1, or something like that.

[Deep Thought]

Anything that ends in →GDB1 defines GDB1 (a pointer).

ah, ok.
thanks.

Just make sure that you define GDB1 with having enough memory, because if you do something like [0000]->GDB1 and then try to copy 768 bytes into GDB1, you will end up overwriting a whole bunch of data, since GDB1 is not being resized

[parserp]

which is faster?

this:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3

:Rect(0,0,96,64) :RectI(1,1,94,62)

or this:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

:Rect(0,0,94,62 :For(J,1,94 :For(K,1,62 :Pxl-Off(J,K :End :End

^^^note that I'm trying to get a border around the screen. I'm not worried about size, just speed.

I would use

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2	RectI(0,,+96,-32) RectI(1,,+93,-32)

The first would be much faster.  Also, chattahippie that code you posted doesn't do the same thing.  Yours creates an empty rectangle with inverted borders.  Parser's code creates a white rectangle with filled borders.

True, I was assuming parser was starting from a blank screen

You started out pretty good with 68,006 cycles

Rect(0,0,96,64)
RectI(1,1,94,62)

Then you went way in the wrong direction with 2,614,503 cycles

Rect(0,0,96,64)
For(J,1,94)
For(K,1,62)
Pxl-Off(J,K)
End
End

And here's my Runer-optimized™ speed/size blend, coming in at 16,303 cycles; that's faster than ClrDraw!

ᴇ80FF→{L₆+11}ʳ

Copy(-1,+12,61*12)

[C0deH4cker]

Super fast and completely obfuscated. Classic Runer-optimized^TM unreadable axe code.

[parserp]

Wow thanks guys

also, I like the Runer-optimized^TM unreadable code.

[Freyaday]

Runer, quick, I need a white rectangle with a 2px black border!

[Runer112]

ᴇC0FF→{L₆+23}ʳ
Copy(L₆+23,-1,23)ʳ
Copy(,L₆+744,24)
ᴇ0300→{L₆+34}ʳ

[leafy]

Runer! Quick! How does that even work?

[Runer112]

.Draw a byte of top border (88-95,1)
.Draw a byte of left border (0-7,2)
ᴇC0FF→{L₆+23}ʳ

.Copy byte (88-95,1) of top border to draw rest of top border (0-87,1) and (0-95,0)
Copy(L₆+23,-1,23)ʳ

.Copy byte (0-7,0) of top border to draw bottom border (0-95,62) and (0-95,63)
Copy(,L₆+744,24)

.Draw byte of right border (94-95,2)
.Draw byte of middle (80-93,2)
ᴇ0300→{L₆+34}ʳ

.Copy byte (80-87,2) of middle to rest of third row middle (8-79,2)
Copy(L₆+34,-1,9)ʳ

.Copy third row (0-95,2) to fourth through sixty-second rows (0-95,3-61)
Copy(-1,+12,59*12)
