I'm working on a vector editor;Vector Editor where you draw and it renders in lines. The problem is, the save codes are in format " ", for the potential tens of thousands of lines. This lags computers out when you copy and paste, and I'd like suggestions for how to compress it. I tried using relative positions between the start and the finish, and I got a cool 2.5D effect, but it didn't work. I don't even know why. I don't plan to build a whole base96 converting engine, so what else is there?

The save codes are in format “(line color) (comma) (line size) (comma) (line starting x) (comma) (line starting y) (comma) (line ending x) (comma) (line ending y)”
Used brackets, didn't know they were escape characters, corrected now

FYI, you can escape brackets by surrounding them with more brackets.
