=== LZen (578ed0a) === ~630 blocks LZen is a compression algorithm for storing data effectively. LZen Cloud is a base 64 encoder to store data for cloud variables. a-z, 0-9, ], _, and = are supported in LZen (base 39). a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _, and - are supported in LZen Cloud (base 64). LZen has a 10-30% compression rate, depending on how repetitive the data is. LZen Cloud has a 60-80% inefficiency rate, due to the conversion from letters to base 10. === Usage === Copy the 'main' sprite. It contains all of the code and automatically hides itself upon execution. Both systems use these variables: "lzen_mode" (either 'e' for encode or 'd' for decode) "lzen_input" (input for either system) "lzen_output" (output variable after running broadcast) [ broadcast and wait (lzencode) ] <= LZen [ broadcast and wait (lzecloud) ] <= LZen Cloud See this project's source code via Scratch, or on GitHub (arozoid/lzen.scratch) === Credits === Give thanks to the creators of LZ77 (a sliding window dictionary compression algorithm) for inspiring this project!
