And then I'd have 768 bytes of sprites, and 96 bytes of tilemap

But sprites can be reused, saving you 768 bytes per map ^^

It depends.  If he's going for either a black or a white scheme, with no different tiles, saving it as picture data would actually be best, considering that one tile = one pixel.

Ashbad's got it right. the levels you see in the screenies are the kind I'm gonna make.

Wow. That. Is. Impressive.
Back on topic, grayscale is nearly perfect since I use an interrupt now. speed is überhigh even though the interrupt freq is 1 (which means ~300 (?) times a second). The only places I use Full is the tile shifting screen and the map draw routine, but that is not too necessary.
I cut ~40 bytes using A*B instead of A and B, its a huge improvement (not kidding, but you can really save a ton of bytes with this). Afaik, the program is now fully optimized (probably Runer can optimize it further, but I'm pretty sure it is less than 100 bytes)
Further news/updates:
-Added a run indicator at the loading screen (instead of the VAT entries displaying)
-Program size: 7422 bytes

Hope to post a screenie soon!

Those should be the same size.  Its 3 bytes to call the multiplication routine and 3 bytes to perform a logical and, plus the and is way faster than the multiply.  Are you sure you're calculating that correctly?

Afaik, yes. I tried it and it did cut bytes (4 times, made 12 bytes)
But I'll check it again, thx for pointing this out

[offtopic]
BTW, did you see that axe 0.5.3 is totally broken? Runer found it out, check the bug reports section

Looks nice aeTIos. Very true to the original. I'm glad to see more flash games being ported to calcs. :)

This game is awesome, only thing I could think of to improve it gameplay-wise would be a scrolling animation when you go into the other box/area/whatever and when you're zoomed out, maybe have a way so it looks like the pieces are sliding instead of just snapping to place.

It doesn't have to be an animation per se, possibly it could just display the tile half-way through sliding or something.

I think I gotta rewrite the whole thing... :(
But since I got 3 weeks left, I can do it.

EDIT: :D its working again!
