CODE OPTIMISATION

[stan cartwright]

I thought it was a code optimisation post.
I write glcd gcb graphics programs and "the need for speed" is important for the visuals.
I do not use logical if x=1 and y=2 then as it tests both conditions even if x<>1.
If you want to see my point, look at my pong code. More multiple if thens than you could wave a stick at.
Obvious things for moving graphics is don't erase, then do calculations for new then plot,print,draw whatever....do the calcs first as more variables so erasing and redrawing are faster.
I noticed goto instruction used and it can be hard to make an alternative that is as efficient.
edit- it's called structured programing.... ie easier to understandable code?
I have found goto the fastest and mem use best but it's not just frowned about it's not allowed in gcb projects.
Well there's goto used in the glcb libs...I was going to mention it but..

'''Displays a character in a larger font
Sub DrawBigChar (In CharLocX as Word, In CharLocY as Word, In CharCode, Optional In  Color as word = GLCDForeground )
    Dim LocX , LocY as Word
    if CharCode <=126 Then
       CharCode -=32
       Goto Tables
    end if
    if CharCode <=210 Then
       CharCode -=33
       Goto Tables
    end if
    if CharCode <= 250 Then
       CharCode -=34
       Goto Tables
    end if

so there :)

Thank you all for the suggestions! I'll keep that in mind when I upgrade code for the charger again. Now it performs its functions :)
