I have a few more questions for you guys about my RPG. I have now
converted it over to matricies, and it runs a hell of a lot faster,but
the total size (including map, viewing map, 10 sprites, 7 levels,
variables, 2 pics, and all programs) is 18141. If I had used string for
sprites and maps, I could have it down to about 12k. But now to my
questions: Can you directly modify a string? If so please explain. And
can you read individual bits of an integer (like asm)? For example:


read 150 as 10010110 and take each bit a put it in matrix.

Can this be done in basic?

Thanx

Clive Bentley
