Hi all,

Is there a way to define a palette and then change it, in order to make some nice palette changes effects ? I made a few search related to this, but didn't found anything !

thanks,
Olivier.

Have a look on the net for info on CLUTs (Color Look Up Tables). They're basically palette based images. You should be able to have some fun with these.

Thank you,
but from what I understand, i will need everytime to redraw everything..
there is no way to directly manipulate the palette ?

since the framebuffer cant be clut based you have to redraw each time you change the palette and upload it.

Ok, I just finished this very basic "copper" demo with palette effect using a clut (kind of..) and redrawing each time...
