Don't try to do everything, otherwise you end up like me: mediocre skills at best, lousy in most cases ;-)
Dane's abilities just prove that you are wrong :) |

Yeah, and HCL, but hey... they're not from this planet! |

@assidous: This might sound strange to some, but some of the challenge that lies in pixelling for this machine is actually enhanced by the borders being there. Even if I had the opportunity of opening the borders I am not sure that I would do it on every occasion. Besides, I think the borders make a nice passepartout. ;)
The same reason lies behind my preferred choice of graphics mode really. Everybody knows what the Koala mode consists in and what its limitations are, and it is also very readable. So instead of focusing on the technical aspect - as in "whoaaa, graphics in the border" or trying to make out the image through the eye scorching interlace - the picture or the logo itself is allowed to come across.
That much said, I would love to know more coding, but there are only so many hours in a day.
And, yup, Dane and HCL are indeed not human. |

Maybe a bit nerdy, but "inhuman"? no... :) |

Props to Archmage and everybody pixeling in Koala format. The only true c64 GFX mode.

Archmage:
and that sure shows in your art!
Damn those TRUE COLOR interlace works...
Its obviously the style and skill rather than the limitations - well, why even mention this. Sorry ;-) |

Many images originally drawn in FLI can (with some tweaking) be drawn in Mcol with not too much reduction in quality provided that the original FLI pic does not make too much use of color bars. Mermaid's Multicolor pictures for example would have quite a few people thinking they were drawn in FLI.
Furthermore the 10k memory usage in comparison to 17k for FLI as well as having to create a badline for the whole height of the screen using up all the processortime does not really justify FLI at all.
HiresFLI is another ballgame however. having only two colors per 8x8 is way too much of a limitation in comparison to having individual ink/paper cols per 8x1 area

i'd rather see some handmade true hires goodnes than some converted afli stuff, really. ptoing and others proved it more than once that amazing things can be done in simple hires. |
