FINISHED LABELED VERA PALLETTE

I can manage the screen shot... LOL.

I'm aware of Javascript. I think I've written code in it exactly twice in my life....lol

UPDATE:

I do wonder now.. I might be able to just make an HTML table.
No Javascript involved and would even work in browsers from the late 90's
I'll explore that.

I'm 1/3rd done in GIMP. My initial estimate was kinda Pessimistic. It turns out, I was really rusty at Graphics
tools as well.

[ahenry3068]

I think I can write that code...
As matter of fact. As a self challenge I'll see if I can write it on the X16 emulator with the included BASIC.

I saved the above table of colors in a txt file already

[ahenry3068]

But damn I'm 1/2 done in GIMP now.

The VERA color depth is 12 bits; 4 bits per channel. 4096 colors.

[Ed Minchau]

Or is it 12 bit psuedo-true color ? 4 bits per RGB value ? That actually might be easier to convert
to the 24 bit value I need in QB64

Yes, VERA'S palette is just a selection of 256 out of the possible 4096 colors available in 12 bits. The bits are ggggbbbb 0000rrrr.

Finished Much sooner than I anticipated.

I edited the TOP Post here to show all my results. I'm posting
a reply just to have it Move to the Top of the Board Index.

As per the title I coded a Native resolution version of the
Pallette chart directly in BASIC ....... SCREEN $80

I'm not planning on deleting any posts here but I don't
plan on any more posts on this thread.... unless?
A. I get questions or comments. Always happy to respond.
B. I will update the code if a higher Res graphics mode is supported in BASIC.

I notice a number of people use $80. Why is that?
