If you want to be able to record the screen and use it as a static image for your games, you can do so fairly easily as long as you don't need more than 128- 8x8 graphic characters and don't need the mapper space at all.

With this out of the way you can use

memcpy(4096,24576,8192)

to record the screen, and

memcpy(24576,4096,8192)

to recover the screen. See the source code for the cart above for the code to do so.

This is useful if you are doing more than just a few simple images that can be redrawn, especially if they are elements that are randomly placed. Using memcpy() will be a lot faster and not require you to use arrays to redraw everything exactly like it was. You might even be able to use this method in your current and future projects.

Now I remember QBasic had this good command called PCOPY() which would page copy any graphics you had up to 16-pages via a number 0-15 so it would be

PCOPY(orig,dest)

. Perhaps in the future PICO-8 will have this ability ?

HOPE THIS HELPS !
