What, really? I never knew!

Naw, I'd classify "useless interjection" right before that.
Also, good luck and some nice discussion here. Hopefully I didn't kill the useful elements of this topic, haha.

i have noticed that alot if people do something like this
<image 01>
bla.jpg
</image>
...
...
00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00
01 01 01 01 01 01
well i would not do it this way, but if you are doing this. (and especially if you have multi layerd levels)
use some compression. this same map can be represented as something like this
<image 01>
bla.jpg
</image>
...
...
<pat 00>
18
</pat>
<pat 01>
6
</pat>
which would cut down on alot of loading time.
again, i would not recommend using something like this. you can save alot of time and effort if you just write object directly as binary to files

That compression is actually a damn good idea. I'm making a small tile-based platformer at the moment and currently it is done with
spritesheet.bmp
32 32
5 4
0 0 0 0 0
0 1 1 1 0
0 2 1 3 0
0 0 0 0 0
I might change it to implement something like you just said.

WAYY back in the day, when Gyro was just a lad, Null loaded files like
01 11 12 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00
Which is pretty stupid and more easily just
01
11
12
00
00
00
00

That was so that we could edit it by hand if we noticed that the level editor had fucked something up.

Naw, that was before I did the editor for him. He wrote his own in SDL.
