i only recently learned that i could set a variable to byte and boolean for less memory usage

so i set all my variables that didnt go over 255 or below 0 to bytes, and changed some to booleans

the frames per sec went from 330 to 315.... That's it?

this Napster's Back ad is DRIVING ME CRAZY i cant type a sentence till it pops back up that stupid kitty look who is back my butt

P.S. the amount of variables changed to byte and boolean are 44

The only saving that you will get is memory. Boolean/Byte/Word access is slower in general than integer/dword simply because they do not match the processors standard word size.

And Booleans and words are somewhat bugged...


Mirrors are more fun than television. Well, that was fun, in a not-so-fun sort of way...

They are best avoided in functions unless you want stuff to randomly stop working.

booleans = bytes as far as I can see anyway
