"o Matt could have included a special routine for
handling blank air (background) graphics, rather than
using the same routine for handling all four graphic
types."
igg-zactly. the 'special routine' being the same as drawing
the other blocks only instead of pulling the data
from the room format it pulls a bunch of 0's. (i am
right in assuming that 0's don't need to be stored and
can be generated by the computer.... i hope so!!
:)
who knows, maybe the extra space could have been used
to facilitate the dissolving platforms, or perhaps
used to calculate the meaning to life?
