旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � This text file serves as an explanation of how the color codes are used � � within 컴袴 Galaxy 5 袴컴 � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Galaxy 5 makes use of simple color codes very similiar to those used by Wildcat! BBS software. The only difference in the color codes, is that G5 uses a tilde (~) instead of an AT (@) sign to enclose the codes. For example, Cyan on Black using Wildcat codes would look like this, @03@, and Cyan on Black using G5 codes would look like this, ~03~. The other difference is that anything other than the color codes from Wildcat, do not work in G5. Like the @PAUSE@, @CLS@, etc. All color codes use the same format. The first character between the ~ signs sets the background color, and the second character sets the foreground color. When a color code is used, only the text following the code on the SAME line will be affected, either up to the end of the line, or to the next code. If an invalid code is used to set the foreground or background color, then the color will default to Cyan on Black. Color codes can be used anywhere where user input is allowed. For example, when entering your player handle when you first start the game, or when writing a message to another user, or when talking with others at an Inn on one of the planets. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Below are the codes used to gain each color. � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� ~BF~ 냅Foreground color 퓿ackground color 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Background Colors Foreground Colors 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 0 = Black 0 = Black 1 = Blue 1 = Blue 2 = Green 2 = Green 3 = Cyan 3 = Cyan 4 = Red 4 = Red 5 = Magenta 5 = Magenta 6 = Brown (dark yellow) 6 = Brown (dark yellow) 7 = Gray 7 = Light Gray 8 = Black (blinks foreground) 8 = Dark Gray (light black) 9 = Blue (blinks foreground) 9 = Light Blue A = Green (blinks foreground) A = Light Green B = Cyan (blinks foreground) B = Light Cyan C = Red (blinks foreground) C = Light Red D = Magenta (blinks foreground) D = Light Magenta E = Brown (blinks foreground) E = Light Yellow F = Gray (blinks foreground) F = White Examples, ~03~This would be cyan on black. ~1F~This would be white on a blue background. ~84~This would be blinking red on a black background. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � There are also some other codes that can be used, but probably aren't � � as useful to game players, as they will be to third party programmers. � � They are listed below. � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Miscellaneous codes � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� ~XX~ = Clears the screen ~<>~ = Calls a prompt and pauses display until a key is pressed. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � P as first character, represents the planets � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� ~PP~ = Display the name of the current planet that the player is on. ~PL~ = Use the light color of the current planet. ~PD~ = Use the dark color of the current planet. ~P!~ = Display name of the person the player can flirt with at the Inn.
