Title: Animated titlescreen optimizing code
Post by: Keoni29 on October 22, 2011, 04:12:49 am

The code for my animated titlescreen got really big. Can someone help me optimize it?

Code: [Select]

:Lbl TITLE
:copy(GDB20,L6,768
:DispGraph
:Pause 500
:copy(GDB21,L6,768
:DispGraph
:Pause 500
:Lbl F
:copy(GDB22,L6,768
:DispGraph
:Pause 500
:copy(GDB23,L6,768
:DispGraph
:Repeat getKey(54)
:For(30)
:SinReg1640,4000
:End
:For(A,0,300
:If getKey(15)
:Return
:End
:SinReg1100,1000
:End
:End
:For(A,0,5
:sub(NOISE,10,500
:copy(GDB22,L6,768
:DispGraph
:sub(NOISE,15,500
:copy(GDB23,L6,768
:DispGraph
:Pause 20
:End
:ClrDraw
:DrawInv
:DispGraph
:Pause 1000

If you stored all the pictures in one GDB variable, the code looks something like this:

Code: [Select]

While(screen active)
copy(gdb+O,L6,768)
O+768^(768*number of frames) ->O
pause 500
end

I use OS pictures. Those are a given size isn't it? (if it aint there is some space black I can cut off)

They can be different sizes but you have to create them with axe. You can make a program that will copy all the pics you use into one and you could get rid of the unused black space in the process. note: if you defined all the pics one right after another, they are all right after eachother in memory. Example:

Code: [Select]

Pic1->GDB1
Pic2->GDB2
Copy(GDB1+768,L6,768) ;displays Pic2

well, it is highly likely in an animated title screen, that the next frame will have similarities with the prior, thus we oonly have to do a little shifting around.

Do I have to export in plain hex code?

Nah it's a fading in/out animation. You cant do that.

can you give us a screeny?
if it fades in and out, you can just use shade()....

Nope it's more complex than that.

I love the screenshots. For some reason they are not visible for me. But when I right click them I can view them.

they disappear for some reason on me.  then after 80 or so refreshes, they reappear.

Ye happens to me too, but it's just a bad host I guess.
