Maybe just fill in 50 to 100 pallette values and just use those.

Ok... In the progress of putting ALL OF THE VERA DEFAULT PALLETTE in BASIC DATA Statements.

I'm 1/3rd through and hoping I don't make a typo. I'm going to write a routine to VPOKE the entire thing.
I'll check it with my BASIC Pallette chart to make sure I'm actually loading a correct Default Pallette.

Because the default values aren't actually in VERA RAM unless you put them there and VPOKE in the Pallette
area returns undefined values unless previously written. Calling this will allow my Pallette Swap GOSUB
to operate correctly.. Swapping Pallette entrys can be very useful for color and animation effects.

whens its done I'm going to redo MY DEADFACE routine in HANGMAN to use Pallette animation.

And ALSO. I'm learning the VERA... It will be useful to me later.

It might be easier to just have it in a file and load it in.

Posted: **Thu Jul 27, 2023 11:34 pm**

It probabyly would. but I just now finished it as DATA

It took a minute .... I'm still not sure its correct..

I've been out of the programming World for a minute before I got into David's project..

But I have some personal lesson's I've brought.

One of my lessons is ALWAYS... ALWAYS... abstract your code so
its easier to use in this project and the Next project

I made a file a while ago that holds the default palette. Here you go.

Thanks. I'll use that to check my work. and BVLOAD to FA00 is probably faster than READ...VPOKE
which was what I was going to do.

OK Some funny eye candy. Draws a VERA Color chart then starts swapping the Pallette Colors

Hitting ESC during the Pallette Animation restores the Default Pallette then waits for another
Key before ending. Has Entire VERA Default in BASIC DATA Statements.

There's a two byte header, so use VLOAD.
