One single layer, no sprites. Pushing Tilengine to its limits?

[megamarc]

I love demoscene effects, they look pretty cool!

I already ran Bad Apple on Tilengine, will post a video later... And maybe I can run something crazier on Tilengine...

But for now, what if Tilengine could display even more colors than Super Nintendo's Master palette, on a single layer?

Hi!

Sorry for my late reply. I always enjoyed demoscene works, back since the Amiga days as a kid, and the on PC in late 90s.

Since release 2.13 (2th Nov 2022) Tilengine can display more colors than regular SNES per layer when I introduced per-tile palettes:

SNES

• Indexed (palette) modes: 8 palettes of 15 colors (the first one is transparent) = 120 unique colors shared by all layers
  
• Direct color modes: 255 unique colors (limited to a single layer)
  

Tilengine

• Per-layer palette: 255 colors per layer, can have many layers at once each one with its own palette
  
• Per-tile palette: 8 palettes of 255 colors = 2040 unique colors shared by all layers
  
• You can have both kinds of layers on a single frame
  

As you can see, Tilengine wins in color management
