Author Topic: Whitespace is Evil  (Read 273 times)

I just discovered that when I strip away all unnecessary whitespace in main.cs of Gamemode_Civilization, a now-abandoned gamemode that broke as of v21, it drops from a size of 95,440 bytes to 76,187 bytes. The whitespace is something like an eigth of the file.

(No, I did not strip all whitespace by hand, I made a compression script to do it for me.)


Discuss the evil of whitespace and what we can do to combat this horrible harddrive hog. (Because we all know how people still need every last byte of harddrive space and RAM they can get!)

Gamemode_civilization? What did it do?

This is what compiled programming languages are for.

Gamemode_civilization? What did it do?

It was basically Unlimited Mining with a surface. While I had plans for it, they were never actualized.

I'm sure that SOME people took pictures and videos of it, you could probably ask around.
