Jens,

Shawns code is about 850 times as fast as the winning code

Eventhough Shawns code is way faster and uses less memory it still loose in the Extended KiXGolf Score

I don’t belive it is possible to make a weighted score, so maybe you should omit the Extended KiXGolf Score

I like the other stat’s, but i agrre with Jack, the only thing we can compare during the competition is the size.

To check Shawn’s very fast script, change kixgolf_bwt.udf to:
code:
; begin Burrows-Wheeler Transfrom Decoder SHAWNS CODE

;!
Function bwtdecode($s, $x)
   Dim $,$j,$k,$n
 
   $n = Len($s) - 1
 
   Dim $t[$n],$l[$n],$c[255]
 
   For $ = 0 To $n
      $l[$] = Asc(SubStr($s,$ + 1,1))
      $j = $l[$]
      $t[$] = $c[$j]
      $c[$j] = $c[$j] + 1
   Next
 
   For $ = 0 To 126
      $k = $k + $c[$]
      $c[$] = $k - $c[$]
   Next
 
   For $ = 0 To $n
      $x = $t[$x] + $c[$l[$x]]
      $bwtdecode = Chr($l[$x]) + $bwtdecode
   Next
EndFunction
;!
;!
