The good, the bad and the ugly. (in multicolor)

In this article, I will talk about displaying
more colors than your display can really do
using your FPGA.

Because your FPGA will allow you to perform
a per-pixel computation, we are able to do
some tricks that software / microcontroller
would find troublesome to do.

You want fun ? You are going to have it !

Here is the article file.
ART001 "Augmenting perceived color depth with simple hardware logic."


Here is the associated source code.(VHDL, unix formatting)
COD001

PS : I bet this kind of trick was actually done
already on Amiga / Atari ST by the demoscene for fixed images.
(Well I did it as a test program on my ST at least)
