  javavi said  Have a question for experts of retro computer graphics!?

The BBS micro computer had a video mode in which it was possible to form a picture in a palette of 16 colors, and by changing the palette display mode, only 4 colors were displayed. Quickly switching the color palette display mode gave the effect of a moving picture in a cycle. How can this be implemented on PicoMite ?

The Amstrad 464 had the same sort of palette switching as the bbc micro.
@Matherp sorted it for pico and called it map. On arduino, map is scale a value, on GCBasic they wanted to implement map but wanted another name for it, I suggested scale, which stuck.
