garden game save/memory shenanigans 

so I've got x,y coordinates on a 16x16 grid, saving those is one byte

16 possible flowers, that's 4 bits

8 maturity stages, that's 3 bits

6 leaf types, that's 3 bits

and rarity, which is one bit

so assuming I can figure out how to split the info between bytes despite having byte-level peek/poke commands, that's 19 bits per flower, which means 107 flowers before I run out of save memory.

@InspectorCaracal if you don't save xy and plan it in a map instead you can fit each flower in 11 bits

@InspectorCaracal also: this kind of problem is why thps part editors had a gauge that would fill up ;)
