Color cycling based animations #62

Open vytas7 opened 3 years ago

vytas7 commented 3 years ago

Hi! Not a heavy VSCode user here, basically just installed it to test this pets extension :smiling_imp:

I was thinking to myself, implementing color cycling support for 8-bit palette images would be a great addition. Something along the lines of http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/?sound=1

For the backgrounds or for the pets?

I've been trying to work out how users could get full customisation of the colours for the pets, possibly fully utilising the HTML Canvas. However, since canvas doesn't support animated image placement, I'd have to render them frame-by-frame. This would open up the potential to do custom colorisation, but I was worried about the CPU overhead.

I was thinking backgrounds in the first place, but maybe pets too (?) :thinking:
