Compression

From SizeCoding
Jump to: navigation, search

This page covers compression related topics. This involves information about available tools on different platforms, platforms with compression support, compression algorithms and related decompression routines suited for the use in sizecoding, and ways to adapt code for better compression on different platform.

Available tools

Name Platform Features Link
Pakettic TIC-80
  • metaheuristics based optimization of source code (e.g. names, operands, independent lines based on hints)
  • applies known shorter code variants (e.g. function TIC -> TIC=load"...")
  • optimization hints
  • Zopfli based Deflate compression optimization
https://github.com/vsariola/pakettic/
tic-tool TIC-80
  • variable name optimization
  • live heatmap of compressed source code to help identifying code parts, where changing the code might help
