Pioneer4x4 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I believe my program uses very little ram, how can I check? Do you check at compile, or execution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Do you use Visual batari Basic? If so, the information is at the bottom when you compile: http://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-batari-basic-vbb.html#informationpane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevEng Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 short story: bB won't tell you how much ram you're using. You have to do it manually. Mostly this is because bB gives names to memory locations you can use (a, b, c, ..., var0, var1, ...) in advance, rather than having you do it on the fly. An add-on could be built that would analyze your source code, but it would be pretty complicated for just tracking ram usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer4x4 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 OK, Thanks both of you. Since my ROB program is very linear, and I don't use any variables I know I have plenty, I was mainly curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
