Palette Play Version 1.0
This program allows an easy visual way to change the
colors of the EGA or VGA palette. The program starts out by showing you
the default palette of colors. By moving the left or right arrow keys you
select which palette entry to change (1-15). I did not include an option to
change palette entry zero because black is one of those colors you find using
in every application. Now press either up or down arrow keys and the palette
entry will increase (up arrow) or decrease (down arrow) the color number.
Color numbers are in the range of 0 to 63 (the 64 colors of the EGA and VGA).
When you are happy with the colors you have chosen press F9 to write a small
code segment to allow your Turbo Pascal program to set the colors. Another
job that I wrote is included to merge the code into the program of your
choice. I hope that this cures those "default color blues". It is great
being able to see the colors you will be using in your next EGA or VGA
program before you actually start coding.
*** One problem which may be bothersome is if you have a virus ***
*** protection that stops the program if an attempt to write to ***
*** the hard disk is made. Just put the job on floppy and run it ***
*** to avoid the problem. ***
