How many colours in mode 73? #87

Closed mikefairbank closed 2 years ago

How many colours should mode 73 have? The document https://github.com/stardot/MatrixBrandy/blob/master/docs/ScreenModes.txt says 4, but it seems there are many more.

That document was WAY out of date, thank you for highlighting it. I've updated it and pushed it to the repo, but the definitive source is in src/scrcommon.h. Also, modes 64 and up are redefinable so you can make it whatever you want it to be.

Thank you! BTW, how do these high-res modes work? If I do mode 75, and then fill the screen with carriage returns, then it doesn't allow me to type in the bottom 10 rows or so of the window. So is there a "text window" defined? Then if I do MOVE0,0:DRAW 1360 4,384 12, it draws a line from the bottom left of the screen. Then I press a few more carriage returns, and it scrolls the whole screen up - (strangely, it does not just scroll the text window portion of the screen). Is it meant to work like that?

Nope, not supposed to work like that. My brain definitely hit a bad sector when I was entering those mode details, as 384/8 is 48 not 36! I've pushed a fix for this, and have kicked off a rebuild of the Windows nightlies.

Super! Thanks.
