CopyProg
« on: January 29, 2011, 02:53:08 pm »
So, again, I have a neat/random program that I want to add to BatLib, now. It was an idea from TIBD for me to make an opcode to copy programs to a string and it was a whole separate idea for me to copy a string to a program. However, this time, the request was to make it copy programs out of archive! So, I got my brain together, planned it out, and now I have this wicked and powerful program... in 123 bytes.

So here are some cool points to keep in mind:
-This is not limited to copying programs
-It can copy from archive or RAM
-It is not limited to copying to programs

The uses of this?  :
-Copy a picture to an appvar or program to make custom pictures
-Copy programs from archive for temp use in games
-Storing things to strings to play with

I hope this proves useful to people! Oh, and as always, opcode included :P

in 123 bytes, too :D
Small enough for an opcode, big enough to be cool!

Its a utility to copy programs from the archive into Ram as a temp program, and to delete the temp program.  But yours has like 100% more features O.O

Oh, I plan to release it as an independent program. I just didn't expect it to work out so well. Should I make a downloads thing?

That's awesome!  However, with that in mind, I think that it's a good thing that you changed the name from "SpriteLib" to something else :angel:

Oh, I know that, it's just that this is another example of something that's not "Sprites" :D

:P Yeah... Originally it was called FontEdit, then I got to command 13 which was for tilemaps and I decided to rename it SpriteLib. Then it got to about command 42 before I changed it to BatLib. It is still centered around graphics and math, but the math part is only starting to make its presence known.

LoliB or LoliLib would be awesome, too. It contains the words Loli and lib. :P

j/k I think right now it's fine. Plus I doubt with loli in the name it would meet ticalc.org guidelines about adult content. :P
