Title: rle spiffy binary compressor
Post by: Geekboy1011 on December 28, 2010, 08:33:59 pm
well a while ago i found a program to compress binary strings with rle or spiffy.
well now i cant find it and i want to use it again.

so does any one know a program like this it is for the computer.

if no one knows where it is can some one code one i need it to take in compressed spiffy or rle binary strings and convert them to the other options with like a radio button to choose which then a uncompress and decompress button

thanks in advanced

I think this is a good start for coding something with RLE.

Chip's Challenge uses RLE in the .dat files to encode the levels.  I don't know if it would be of any help to anyone, but I've attached the source to my little (very incomplete) test program that decrypts the Chip's Challenge .dat files, including the level RLE code converted to an array for my program.

I doubt this will be of any help, but I though I would post, just in case! :)
