Bluescale
« on: October 12, 2010, 01:01:09 pm »


This effect inspired me to start making an RPG: it's that cool. It's done with creative use of DrawInv, Shade(0) and Shade(63).
This is not BLOD, it is safe and will not harm your screen. I have run it on actual hardware many, many times.
Source will hopefully go up soon.

Also, I finally found the manual focus on my camera! Yay!

But to be honest, it doesn't seem very safe.
I will not test it on my calc until I have a confirmation that it will be absolutely of no harm, since this screen still isn't intended for blue.

Not saying I don't like it tho.
Its a very cool effect, it just isn't intended for a B/W screen. (Neither is grayscale, but still)

OK, fair 'nuff. In your place, I wouldn't risk it either.

It looks like it would be fine for a couple of times, but It might be rather harmful if you cast that spell every move ;)

Yeah, maybe make it some sort of uber powerful rare spell that needs loads of mana and HP...
Other than the issue of LCD damage, that's quite cool!

Wow it's different from what I tried a while ago.

In my case it involved quickly turning contrast up and down, which turned the screen blue but not blue enough to cause damage. Such effect should not be used during extended periods of time, though. The effect above would prbly be cool for a final boss, tho.

I guess bluescale doesn't like 83+BE i can only bet one shade of blue. (I wonder if someone would be able to find a way to make other colors)

thats really cool!  long time ago, people thought basic greyscale was impossible, as we do now with color, maybe we can hack the calcs to get two or three colors now!  :o
