Color Chart

[Galaxian]

Hello,

I'm having a bit of trouble designing players and the playfield in my new game, and it would be GREAT if one of you geniuses would be so kind as to send me a chart of all colors. I.E

 

white = 14

black = 0

etc.

 

Thanks,

Henry

VisualbB has a nice color selection tool. I use VisualbB to program all my games. However, if you want an easy way to pick colors from code add these constants to your program in the beginning:

 const c_brown = $F2
const c_pink = $3C
const c_skyblue = $98
const c_olive = $E4
const c_lilac = $7A
const c_aqua = $B8
const c_orange = $38
const c_blue = $86
const c_red = $46
const c_purple = $64
const c_lime = $DA
const c_gold = $2E
const c_navy = $84
const c_green = $C6
const c_maroon = $42
const c_yellow = $1E
const c_fuchsia = $58
const c_cyan = $A6
const c_white = $0E
const c_ltgray = $0C
const c_silver = $0A
const c_gray = $08
const c_dkgray = $04
const c_black = $00
const c_tan = $FC

 

When you want to turn player0 red just do this in the main loop:

COLUP0 = c_red

 

One final note: These are NTSC colors! They will not work on European TVs.

Ooooooooooo, that could be difficult due to the fact I live in Australia...

Hi, Random Terrain done a good job in doing us a chart you can see here. Yet its only for NTSC, you have a TIA palette included in VisualBb to help you pick the color. You could switch from PAL to NTSC.

As a complete beginner, I can give you a good advice: the more you use them, the more you will know theirs numbers.

the left part of the number is the hue you want and the right part is the luminosity (0 for dark to E for bright).

Hope my advice will help. Regards.
