Speed, LZSA1-m5 is alot faster to unpack and I wanted to test the fastest I currently have.

revisiting some compression tests... I compressed some 64x64 @4bit sprite frames trying to decompress real time Original: 2048 bytes per frame or 16K for all most frames compressed to under 600 bytes 16384 to 3704 bytes for all frames Decompress seems to take about 1/2 a frame for a single sprite no...

I ported the chess engine from Code Monkey King (link below) to Prog8.... Just a project to test his algo with visual output (source code included) *CPU vs CPU so just a visual demo *mate is not checked, and may crash when it happens :) for fun I tried to randomize the "depth" so each game...

Yeah, when I say "*I hope to make it compatible with zsmkit" just not step on it's toes so to speak, no plans to use it's PCM playback system or specific files zsm playback is great, but pcm is limited, and talking to MooingLemur this is a "niche" application, which I understand ...

I couldn't upload this test in the PM, it seems to have a 5mb limit.
I added a video output mode selection, let me know the one that should be used.
I added 4 different video sizes to be tested on hardware, 1 - 192 seems to hit the bandwidth limit without audio glitches.
