Hi Pico 8 bbs!
I am following Lazy Devs' breakout tutorial, and I noticed he was using variables like so
ball_x=1 ball_y=1 |
In my code I had written:
ball={ x=1, y=1, } |
However I noticed that he had quite a bit fewer tokens than I did. I switched over, and sure enough, saved a bunch of tokens. This is because ball_x
is only one token, whereas ball["x"]
is quite a few more.
So then if straight-up variables are cheaper than tokens, it leads me to the question:
When is it actually a good idea to use tables instead of just variables?
Thanks!
