Anyways what are the color limitations of specific bit games? like 8-bit? is that only 8 colors in the entire game? if so does that mean a single sprite, lets say mario, can he have all the colors or only 2 or 3? if someone could help me out that would be sweet. --------------------

Don't touch that canned cheese! Group: Members Posts: 2756 Member No.: 1299 Joined: 26-July 05 Status: (0d)	8 Bit sprites can only have four colors per sprite, including a transparent/background color. Also, 8 Bit sprites must have dimensions (a width and a height) which are multiples of 8, because the tiles in 8 Bit games are 8x8 or something like that. So a proper size for an 8 Bit sprite would be 16x32 etc. 16 bit I'm not sure of, but I'm guessing only 8 colors per sprite, including transparency/background. 32 bit is 16 colors per sprite including transparency/background. Hope that helps. -------------------- ...Spat Count Bleck in utter disbelief. PJ ~ Devi ~ Sheezy

"...and a round of applause for Chargin’ Chuck!" Group: Members Posts: 476 Member No.: 1383 Joined: 23-August 05 Status: (0d)	so for ANY sprite in the game I could add (if it's a 32bit game) 16 colors to a sprite? like even a simple grass tile or something. --------------------

No
2bit= 2colors

Wouldn't 2 bit mean 4 colours?

#[00, 01, 10, 11] = 4

Assuming we're talking bits per pixel for colour

1 bit would be 2 colours.

You need to get off your high horse. Group: Members Posts: 9707 Member No.: 1422 Joined: 6-September 05 Status: (0d)	1 Bytes Per pixel (-) = 2 colors — 1 color and transp. 2 Bytes Per pixel (NES) = 4 colors — 3 colors and transp. 4 Bytes Per pixel (SNES, GBA) = 16 colors — 15 colors and transp. 8 Bytes Per pixel (SNES Mode7 Objects, Super Mario All-Stars Choose a game, for example.) = 32 colors - 31 colors and transp. 16 Bytes Per pixel (Nintendo 64) = 256 Colors. 24 and 32 Bytes Per pixel are not yet used in games. -------------------- read it yo
