Transfering BASIC-Adeventures from other platforms often leads to the "low memory" problem on CPC in Basic.
Sometime I do a manual "tokenizing" if I see some big chunk of repeated text in several lines, i.e." You are watching a" I'll reduce to some string ... or "token"
Do we have some software out there that scans let'S say 60 room desriptions and so on for "common text parts", (above 3 ore four chars) and gives a table of replacement ? Like "you do" becomes "T01" ... so we could compress / recylce parst of text "On the fly" maybe with an RSx and using second RAM bank for adventures ?
Hope you get my point ...
Example :
"You are standing at the bar inside the tavern. There ..."
gets
Aat the bar inside the tavern. There ..."
With decoding IF LEFT$(hoel$,1)="A" THEN PRINT"You are standing ";:GOTO 998
