pallette+variable

[v3n0mn33dl3]

broke my back last night, playing with basic coding...

my code now is

pallettes pallette7,0,0,16
sleep 2
pallettes pallette6,0,0,16
sleep 2
pallettes pallette5,0,0,16
sleep 2
pallettes pallette4,0,0,16
sleep 2
pallettes pallette3,0,0,16
sleep 2
pallettes pallette2,0,0,16
sleep 2
pallettes pallette1,0,0,16
sleep 2
pallettes pallette0,0,0,16


in arduino c++ i'm used to do this:


for (i=0; i<7; i++){ Serial.print("pallette",i); }



i tried a lot of things but i'm stuck with this... and this is wrong...

a=0
FOR Char = i to 7
b=pallette+a
pallettes b,0,0,16
sleep 5
next


any suggestions would be very welcom

What are you trying to do, a sort of fade or pallette animation?

it's the intro screen for the game i'm trying to build, it has to cycle through 7 palettes.

so i want to join NAME_OF_PALLETE with a NUMBER, cause i like my code as clean/short as possible, so i often use for loops in C++ to do this stuff and use lesser lines of code.

There is a small trick that nobody uses: the pallettes function has an extra parameter who allows you to "shift" the pallete's offset: In you case, it should be something like:
   for i=0 to 7
       pallettes MyPals,0,0,16,32*i
   next i
Since each line of colors is composed by 16 colors, and each colors is 2 bytes long, there is where comes the 32.
