Currently I store a variety of large images as just pngs in an app, I want to see if using run length encoding would help reduce the size of the outputted prg (I've already tried the compression=true tag which works but not too much of a difference for my images). Obviously I'll encode it out of the monkeyc environment but I think I can translate some run length decode code to monkey c, the question is whether monkey c would recognise a string as something to draw...
I'm thinking that perhaps each letter would have to be converted to a pixel or shape first? E.g
Say for example W = white, B = Black so WWWWBB (or when encoded W4B2) would equal 4 white pixels and two black.
What would be the best practice to draw these encoded images out on screen with them also being files next to and below each other in a specific order forming one larger picture that I would only display the required part of it according to your location?
Thanks
