GX Grayscale Library
« on: April 16, 2011, 04:38:27 pm »
Dalanian software presents... a new library for assembly development supporting:

- 3, 4, 8, and 16 level grayscale rendering
- toggle between user activation and interrupt triggering
- sprite routines for all levels
- user defined buffers
- useful buffer editing commands
- almost perfect alignment to the LCD in interrupt mode (for up to 8 level grayscale)
- toggle between different ANDing techniques to achieve more balanced colors!
- support for all models and LCD drivers
- and much more!

This will be released very soon in a BETA form, released to the general z80 assembly coding public to test and report bugs, inconveniences, and opinions/advice!
I shall upload a screenshot of a WIP tomorrow afternoon, showing the sheer power of this wonderful library and what it can do for YOU!

Thanks in advance for all support!

Nspire 84+ Emu support? Its grayscale is far more finicky, unfortunately, so it doesn't work quite right with reg. grayscale. Sounds cool though!

Thanks :) it should work fine with an emu, if it's put at the right settings, I'm sure ;)

Well, the official nspire emu for the 84+ sucks at greyscale, unless you tune it just right. It's practically a whole new LCD.

Really?  O.o I've actually heard it was quite good at grayscale, maybe I've been misinformed :/

Maybe that's only on my OS (1.4) but yeah, it sucks for mine. At least it's fairly stable. Something that bricks a real 84+ will give me a RAM clear :P if I handle it correctly, that is.

interesting -- I'll see if someone knows how much different the Emu works with grayscale with full specs, and I can see if I can eventually help you out ;)

first things first though, I have to get it working for something first ;D

ok. Sounds cool, and you don't have to mess around just for me. Hopefully a third party emu will come out that has its own grey support, which will be better than on a real calc, due to hardware support :)

well, I'm sure there are also others who would like to have it, plus I said I would support all LCDs regardless of model so I will keep that promise ;)

Also, if anyone has any ideas, please post them ;D

Great, don't use non-Nspire functions please :D I'd like to be able to try this.l

I think I have all but 16 level basic rendering pretty much functioning, so maybe a screenie later at some point ;)

ALSO, I really would appreciate some ideas :P

indeed ;) I'm sure though it won't be used for SHMUPS though :P

however, picture viewing is a big possibility ;)

I think thepenguin made a few grayscale libraries before ;)

however, I don't think there are very many 8 level game besides chips challenge (by calc84) -- and definately NO 16 level ones.
