Re: A89: GrayScale and Program Ideas




Grayscales sprites simply have more bits defining the shade of each
pixel.  In the 1-bit system commonly employed, a 0 is completely white
and a 1 is completely black.  In a system using multiple-bits per pixel, 
00... is still white and a 11... is still black, but other values offer
differing shades of gray.  If you wish to use two bits per pixel, 00
would be white, 01 would be light gray, 10 would be dark gray, and 11
would be black.  This concept continues through an infinite rang of
possible bits-per-pixel.
