Ask me about SCI Post: #161 of 599 Since: 10-29-18 Last post: 196 days Last view: 12 min.	How would you explain the braces poll having grayscales while the PHP code clearly has CGA values?

Posted by Broseph Not that I had any idea what was CGA or Hercules back then but back in the days, but I've played on rare occasions on a cousin's PC (well, his folks' anyway) games like Alley Cat. I believe that was on CGA. You believe correctly.

Okay!

CGA has all sixteen colors we know and love. In text mode, any character can have any of the sixteen, on any of the dark eight backgrounds. In the 320×200 graphics mode most associated with CGA, the black entry can be set to, again, any of the sixteen. In the 640×200 higher-resolution black/white mode, white can be replaced with any of the sixteen, and in both cases this can be done per line if you time it right.

More to the point of "if it's not magenta", that's but the default palette. Green/red/yellow is just as valid a CGA graphics color set as cyan/magenta/white. Cyan/red/white if you tweak it a bit.

In turn, if you tweak the text mode a bunch and use a lot of half-filled block characters, you can have 160×100 16-color graphics. That's only 44 lines less than a Game Boy.

For comparison, Hercules was 720×348 with no color options at all beyond that of your monitor. So resolution is literally the only thing on which Hercules beat CGA (on its own merits without considering crappy monitors).
