If you want to achieve something better, you need to know something about the statistical distribution of your symbols in your code I'm afraid I'm unable to help without that information Bye Redwoood |

Originally posted by Redwoood That's pretty cool, TerriblySorry. have you ever worked on a game we might know ? Personally, I'm working on uC++ (micro C++), so chances are very slim that anybody here has even heard about it Bye Redwoood |
Originally posted by TerriblySorry I'm a games programmer, if that helps. Compression is a way of taking data and making it use less storage space. But there's another way of achieving the same thing: What you do is store, say, a 32-bit seed and use that to pseudo-generate a longer data sequence. The trick is in finding the seed/prng that generates the result you want. Or rather, a seed/prng that generates all the results your program needs. |
