Lately in GM, I've lacked motivation to make any actual games, so I decided a basic string to binary script would be cool. So here it is, my str_to_bin script that takes the specified string, and returns it in 8bit binary form (as a string).
//Returns the string (argument0) in 8bit binary form...
var _str, _bin, _i, _j, _tempA, _tempB, _tempC;
_str = string(argument[0]);
_bin = "";
for(_i = 1; _i < string_length(_str) + 1; _i += 1)
{
_tempA = real(ord(string_char_at(_str, _i)));
_tempB = "";
_tempC = 0;
for(_j = 7; _j >= 0; _j -= 1)
{
if(power(2, _j) + _tempC <= _tempA)
{
_tempC += power(2, _j);
_tempB += "1";
}else
{
_tempB += "0";
}
}
_bin += _tempB + " ";
}
return string_copy(_bin, 1, string_length(_bin) - 1);Please remember this is merely for entertainment purposes only, so I did not use the fastest or most efficient way possible (in the example GM6 file, I do not recommend using it how I did). I also realise that this isn't extending GM, but the rules state any script can be posted.
If you encounter any errors with my code, please let me know. Anyways, enjoy!
