Title: 8-level gray scale on the TI-83+?
Post by: 4ce_labs on April 07, 2006, 02:21:00 am

some how, (by accident)
I was able to make a basic program
that displays 8-level gray-scale?  :???:
I wasent able to take a screen shot using TI-connect,
so I used PINDAR....

(8-level 83+ basic gray scale, with out x-libs impossibel?) O_O   NO!

here are the screen shots:






:crazy:

the title flashes in up to 8 diffrent shades of gray scale! :psychedelic:


but x-libs is way more ez to use!    
I'm not trying to brag, I just thought it was kind'a cool  :ph43r:

works best with nothing els in ram!

then download a mostly black pic as PIC1
then scrol down to the
******************
for the rest of the instrustions

or if you don't have one:

axis must be off!!!
set your window to:
c1-->

CODE

ec1 xmin=-10 xmax=10 ymin=-10 ymax=10 c2

ec2

then goto shade in the draw menu and make the screen look like:
c1

-->

CODE

ec1 shade(-54125+10,15) c2

ec2
then press enter and the screen sould turn black!

then
save it as pic 1

*****************

then make a new program and call it GRAY8
and type
c1

-->

CODE

ec1 :DelVar   Y1 :AxesOff :ClrDraw :->x ::"programed by 4ce Labs :While   x (not equle to ) 21 :RecallPic 1 :ClrDraw :RecallPic 1 :ClrDraw :RecallPic 1 :getKey->x :end c2

ec2

then run it!

it should look like:









if you use this program or screen shots
give me credit plese ;)

did it work for you?

(make shure axis anp plots are off)

Not on an 84+SE...and cleared Ram.

But a Disp :DispGraph loop looks cool. :)

This isn't new, and isn't flickerless though. Like Radical Pi said, use Disp :DispGraph would work better/faster.

I had this effect in half of my old RPGs, looked cool on OS 1.12 for the 83+ (on newer os it ran slower)

This method was used in FFR, FFR2 and prefected in FFRSE for best bg/font combos

Turn your contrast up all the way on your 83+, as it will produce a yellow looking effect (kinda).

O_O wow, that's insane.  And without any libraries either? or Xlib?

Didn't work for me either.  I used TilEm though cuz I can never get PindurTi to work.

nothing much spectacular imo, I mean because of the flickering, but I think it should be used for flashy animations in pure basic games and special effects like in FFR
