Color Cycling Like Atari 8 Bit, etc.?

painintheworld

I was piddling about with the BASIC Engine NG, trying to think of game ideas. I'm from the Atari 8 bit world and color indirection made it wonderfully easy to color cycle stuff to give the illusion of movement. The BASIC Engine NG is plenty powerful to brute force a sort of fake color cycling.

Is there a method of 8 bit style color cycling by changing registers?

This is a very quick and dirty something I was playing with >>>

That is not going to work. The frame buffer is 32 bpp, and I don't think the hardware supports any kind of indexed color mode at all.

uli That was my assumption...thank you for verifying 🙂 There is plenty of power under the hood, so that is what ot will be 🙂
