Compression

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	https://github.com/exoticorn/tic-tool
