Hi @wil, thanks for your comment and for giving it a go!
Optimality is related to a specific encoding schema. TSCrunch is a bytepacker, with 2byte RLE, 1-2byte LZ tokens and a 512 bytes search window. In this "space" it provides the optimal solution to the puzzle. Exomizer is s different beast, being a bit-cruncher. |

| Brilliant Tony, a great little tool, and as you know, I've used earlier "beta" versions to great success for fast decrunching in some of my releases ;) |

| Awesome work, but what does "optimal" mean in this context? As far as I understood the big advantage is the fast decrunching, but the packing efficiency is better with exomizer, correct? |

TSCrunch is an optimal, byte-aligned, LZ+RLE hybrid encoder, designed to maximize decoding speed on NMOS 6502 and derived CPUs, while achieving decent compression ratio (for a bytecruncher, that is). It crunches as well as other popular bytecrunchers, while being considerably faster at decrunching.
TSCrunch was designed as the default asset cruncher for the upcoming game A Pig Quest, and, as such, it's optimized for in-memory level compression, but as of version 1.0 it can also create Commodore 64 SFX executables for off-line prg crunching.
Hopefully I'll release A Pig Quest soon, so here is the cruncher to make crackers' life easier :-). |
