Hello Euphorian type people!
I was digging through some old files and found something that gave me the
urge to post a hit-and-run message to the old EUForum :D
Without further ado here's an interesting replacement for the colour name
definitions in graphics.e:
-- COLOR values -- for characters and pixels
constant
BRIGHT = 8
global constant
BLACK = 0, -- in graphics modes this is "transparent"
RED = 4 - 3*(platform() = LINUX),
GREEN = 2,
BLUE = 5 - RED,
CYAN = GREEN + BLUE,
MAGENTA = RED + BLUE,
BROWN = RED + GREEN,
WHITE = RED + GREEN + BLUE,
GRAY = BRIGHT+BLACK,
BRIGHT_BLUE = BRIGHT+BLUE,
BRIGHT_GREEN = BRIGHT+GREEN,
BRIGHT_RED = BRIGHT+RED,
BRIGHT_CYAN = BRIGHT+CYAN,
BRIGHT_MAGENTA = BRIGHT+MAGENTA,
YELLOW = BRIGHT+BROWN,
BRIGHT_WHITE = BRIGHT+WHITE
global constant BLINKING = 16 -- add to color to get blinking text
I don't know whether this idea has been suggested before, but like I say,
I found it in my old files and thought that someone in the Euphoria world
might find it interesting. :)
Nostalgically,
Carl W.
