mf trynna get away!!! anyways afaik you also asked what's a modem while being a pixel artist as mentioned on your website lmao. like, ok, no google here, real pixel artist/retro tech enthusiast question here, what's the four common pallete variations you can possibly have on the IBM CGA 320x200 graphics mode? and, as a bonus, how do you get 16 colors on this mode while keeping the resolution?
For the first question: no clue, but EGA palette sounds applicable here for one of the four (probably wrong)
For the second question: I would assume something to do with flashing different colors together, similar to how the gameboy got greyscale (and how the pico-8 secret palette works)
grazia for replying, the answers are: 1. the CGA has 2 palettes (and 2 dimmed variations of them) - pink, cyan, white, black, and second ks red, yellow, green, black. idk, knew them since 9 years old or smth lol 2. before pure screens existed, composite CRT screens almost always combined colors, with the advantage being you could turn your 4 colors into 16 colors by sacrificing your screen width in half. sorry for annoying you with this, i hate gatekeeping myself, but just to flesh out your pixel art skills and knowledge, try giving 8 bit guy a watch and you might learn a thing or two, genuinely awesome videos even after half a decade. my ass myself was a "so retro" pixel artist kiddo until like 5 years ago when i actually tried learning stuff that would help me in the media. so good luck in your next adventures lol, ciao ciao
