Fun fact:
|
|
The letter 'Z' does not appear at all in the lyrics to the song.
|
|
(Noticed when I had to edge comparison for uppercase off by one)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Challenges:
|
|
+ 6-channel audio
|
|
+ Fitting it all in 48k (want to avoid disk routines if can)
|
|
+ Printing the ASCII art simple code (takes longer than 50Hz)
|
|
|
|
ASCII Art Size
|
|
The ASCII art is roughly 7k.
|
|
You can LZ4 compress it and decompress on the fly, saving 3k or
|
|
so even when factoring in the decompression code.
|
|
The problem is decompression is slower (pauses the music) and
|
|
can't be run at the same time as the music decompression is
|
|
happening unless we duplicate a lot of code.
|
|
May revisit if we need the room.
|

Goal: Binary fits in 16k (16384 bytes)

|
note size (bytes)

--------------------- ------
|
|
initial music player: 2078
|
|
add raw ascii art: 9142
|
|
add 3-channel music+lyrics,then slim a bit: 18787
|
|
initial 40 col support: 18864
|
|
have art loading properly 40col: 18910
|
|
lz4 encode the ascii art: 15529
|
|
revert because lz4 code not re-entrant: 18910
|
|
add 4-channel music (KR4): 20128
|
|
add cursor (a bit distracting) 20162
|
|
feature complete 40 col: 20180
|

16k compressed Load at 16k? 4000

20k decompressed Decompress from 0c00 - 6000 or so
