I've actually been wondering this too, Besides the Bin functions, i don't know.

What kind of binary code? Binary is just a different number representation.

oh. I don't really know...I just found a website that converts text into Binary code, is there anything i can do with that?

Matty (Posted 2007) [#5]

There are plenty of things you can do with that, what did you want to do with it?

You could for instance use a 32 bit int, (just a regular integer) and use each of the bits there as a flag. Save yourself using a whole integer just for ON/OFF status. You therefore use 1/32 of the memory. A use or understanding of binary would help you use this i guess.

Blitz has all the commands you need to create and modify values at the bit level.
