"Advanced" FLI
Argh, can't take this term. It's the least advanced of all FLI modes. Only 2 colors per byte, and nothing else to worry about. In multicolor FLI you also have the background color and char colors, so that is definitely more advanced.
I always called it "Hires FLI". What's wrong with that? |

Also change screenshot to screen dump cause that's what it's called. (Yes, it's actually called that!) |

sigh...
The term AFLI has been used for ages, trying to do history revision now is kind of lame. s/Advanced FLI/AFLI/ should be enough, that way the whiners can pretend that A stands for Atrophomorphic, Apoplexical or something like that.
If not, I move for relabling FLD. After all, the it's not really line distance, it's every 8 lines, so it's not very flexible. So NVFE8LD perhaps.
And multicolour bitmap? Doesn't multi sounds quite a lot? After all, 16 isn't that much. Let's call it "3 colours + background out of 16 in each 8x8 block bitmap graphics", or 3CPBoo16iE8x8BBG. |

@Tao, you have a point, but there's a difference between something everyone has used for ages, like FLD, and something like AFLI, which I think is only used by max half of the scene. Hires FLI is probably just as common - so there is two competing terms for the same format. Why choose the stupidest one for CSDb?

I've never seen the term Hires FLI outside of CSDb... |

Most of the demos released don't really demonstrate anything either so I think they must be called something else. |

I think... "the scene" is very misleading. We're not actually actors on a stage. Let's just call us... uh... fuckit. |

ADVANCED in AFLI is stupid, and hires FLI is legal (and more correct) I use it myself with lotsa others. but this debate doesnt worth to cut throats. both sides should get over it. |
