When you [[AGIWiki/ | When you [[AGIWiki/load.view|load a view resource]], the ''entire'' resource gets loaded into memory. It doesn't matter if you are using only one [[AGIWiki/Loop|loop]] or even just one [[AGIWiki/Cel|cel]]<nowiki>! If you find you are exhausting your memory, check for views that are being loaded in the </nowiki>[[AGIWiki/Room|room]] that have unused loops or cels in them. If you can move those parts out of that view, you can save ''a lot'' of memory. | ||

When you are [[AGIWiki/Print|printing]] a [[AGIWiki/Message|message]] to the screen, ''every single letter'' adds a byte to the total amount of memory that the [[AGIWiki/Logic|logic resource]] is using. This means you can't write like a student who's been assigned a 5-page paper and only has 3 pages of content. You must cut the fat. | When you are [[AGIWiki/Print|printing]] a [[AGIWiki/Message|message]] to the screen, ''every single letter'' adds a byte to the total amount of memory that the [[AGIWiki/Logic|logic resource]] is using.

The above two print commands are wasting memory! They use far too many characters to say what they're trying to say. Compare to these far better versions: | The above two print commands are wasting memory! They use far too many characters to say what they're trying to say. Compare to these far better versions: | ||

The sentence ''I don't know whether he'll come.'' is 10 bytes less memory than ''I do not know whether or not he will come.'' and it says the same thing. Similarly, ''I didn't do that.'' is 20 bytes less memory than ''I didn't actually do that in reality.'' | The sentence ''I don't know whether he'll come.'' is 10 bytes less memory than ''I do not know whether or not he will come.'' and it says the same thing.
