This is part 2 of binary character string encoding. In this part I discuss in detail how the encoding process was optimised even further to reduce the shape information to just a few bytes.

This post documents the process of binary char encoding that was used for the js1k space invaders project.

One of the biggest challenges while doing my js1k challenge was rendering shapes. In this part of the series I will discuss in detail the various possibilities of drawing shapes and why I chose to go with binary char encoding.
