nezd 2 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 About code compression; The only way I see to remove spaces from code in places like while, function, etc. Any other ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gorzoid 10 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Nice work, I think the largest tape drive can store a few MB so you can store quite alot with this, albeit very slowly. Suggestions: "if var == true then" is the exact same as "if var then", just as "if var == false then" is the same as "if not var then" You may want to try mount this file to a /dev/tape_drive file. This would mean you could do let's say "cp /dev/tape_drive /home/myfile.txt" to read from tapedrive, or "cp /home/myfile.txt /dev/tape_drive" to write to tapedrive. Check out OpenOS' devfs.lua for info on making fake files. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
