Help creating save code!

My project:
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1195370857/
Is a drawing project.
Enter+U to load save code and Enter+I to import.
The size gets crazy for some reason.

I'm on mobile, so can't easily read the code. But it seems like the save code is a list of coordinates? Or am I wrong?

that is a decent way to do it but it is kinda weird to encode and decode lol

Well I'm not sure if that's the method they're actually doing.

Yeah, I'm trying to fit all the coordinates of the pen's xs and ys and colors and brightnesses and blah blah blah into one code to copy. One part is fixed but it takes so much time to LOAD!

If you want the code to be shorter, maybe start by storing the colour of every pixel, but not their coordinates. So, as a simplified example,

x=5, y=1, colour=red

would become

white, white, white, white, red

This'll make more complex images have a simpler code. There are ways to compress it even further, but this would probably be a good start.

It's fixed in v0.6!
