Which would be faster/more optimized to check for?
If rand^2
or
!If rand^2
Or would they be the same?
Exactly the same. They're two forms of conditional jumping in assembly.

I wonder if there is a function that checks if to Datas are equals ?
I mean (sorry^^), something like this:
compare(PTR1,PTR2,SIZE), wich would return 1 if they are the same, and 0 otherweise ?

Equ>String() does that.

Aww..
Yes but it's for 1.0.*, right ?
I'm still using 0.5.0, so what I do is

0->M
For(A,0,5
(({P+A})=({O+A}))+M->M
End

and check if M=6 or not..
or is there an easier way ?

The easiest way is to upgrade to 1.0.5 :) But your way works fine for your purposes

0.5.3 has it. It actually checks for differences, and returns the number of bytes it looked through to find that abberance. If it doesn't find a mismatch, it returns 0

I tried with 0.5.3b
It seems Equ>String( doesn't work with files ?
I loaded an appvar into Y0, used it with another pointer in Equ>String, and Axe says : "Error : File Misuse"

Yeah, Axe is kinda tetchy about that. There's really no way around it, other than UnArchiving it.

You could copy the string to a SafeRAM area, or a var in the RAM, then run the comparison from there.

And wouldn't my "method" (just do a simple For-loop) be better than unarchiving/archiving (what I'd like to avoid) and/or creating a new Data ?

I need to have smoothscrolling for my game, and I would like to have my player always at the same point(24,40). I just don't know how to do this good. I would really appreciate the help.:D Also, I think I must use inflation by 256. I just don't know how, becuase this is scrolling?

I'm working on a little project for the zContest (i'll make a thread soon :P), that requires a password, stored in an appvar.
I'd like that appvar to be protected (so that you can't guess what is the password when you're reading it).
How could I do ?

you could encrypt it using some random code (that of course is stored in the appvar). You can also store it backwards.
