(SmileBASIC is a BASIC interpreter for the Nintendo 3DS)
SmileBASIC has a special "folder" named SYS
that contains built in resources, such as the default sprite sheets, font, and sample programs.
It cannot be modified, since it's not actually a folder; it's stored in the game's ROM. (It's just treated as a folder so you can easily load files from it)
Every copy of SmileBASIC has the exact same files in SYS
, and SB would not work without them.
The "clear everything" command, ACLS
, loads the default sprite sheets and font from SYS
, and they are also loaded automatically whenever a program is run from the main menu. The FONTDEF
(reset font) command also loads from SYS
My question: "Is it ok to load files from SYS
without them counting towards the program size?"
