16 Colors?

[OnYourMind]

Hay there.

Is there any possible way how I can get a 16 Color graphics adapter mode to run in freepascal?

It sounds like a silly newbish question but it's understandable that the 16 Color mode is obsolete for a long time but I would still like to use it just to feel old fashion.

I haven't looked much into the FPC but I will wonder if it does come with the original FPC package.

Why not just limit you gfx to the 16 system colours?

Use a 256 colours mode and use only the first 16 colours. This way you can use palette effects too.

or... if you want to use hardware acceleration with the 16 colors, you could easily figure out what their color codes are and stick to using them alone for all your graphics.

I wonder what what hardware accelerated CGA would look like. :lol:

Or any graphic library of any type that draws lines, circles, dots, boxes, and stuff.

A gfx libraries will probably do primitives - I can't think of any exceptions.
