Is she....you know...CGA palette 1?
@Dio9sys who knows :3 🏳️‍⚧️
@Dio9sys if you liked cga palette 1 as a kid you're trans now ​

@jiub @Dio9sys

I feel so called out right now

@ZiggyTheHamster @Dio9sys it's ok, it was a self-report for me ​

i just think it's funny that some of us liked these colors before the trans flag was even created

@Dio9sys

enbies set the BW mode bit

@foone @Dio9sys @luna this is actually also a practical example of cga programming

although personally i'd do

mov ax, B800h
mov es, ax

instead of popping b800 into es

because the 8086 has specialised instructions for moving to the ax register which most commerical apps use. i think it's slightly slower but doesn't matter in this case

also you can keep the segment in ax, which if you want to change the program later to do something else, or port it to EGA/VGA, will be helpful

@starfrost @foone @Dio9sys worth noting that i wrote this eight years ago and i barely knew what i was doing (i still don’t but i didn’t then either)
@luna @foone @Dio9sys i have no idea what i am doing either i was just realy bored so i read all of your code
@luna @foone @Dio9sys also div and mul are comically slow on the 8086 (worst case - 180 cycles) (to clarify it is a very good program)
@Dio9sys hey i just remembered that I've been adding modding capability to SDL Sopwith over the past couple of years so it's trivial to add a trans pride flag into the game
@fraggle omg, this is wonderful. Also, as an aside, I played way too much sopwith when I was a kid

@Dio9sys you might want to check out the website for my port, it has lots of information about the game including a detailed history section that I spent a long time researching!

https://fragglet.github.io/sdl-sopwith/

It was the 40th anniversary of the game a couple of years ago and I did an hour long interview with the creator of the game which you can find on Youtube

SDL Sopwith

Modern port of the classic biplane shoot-em up, Sopwith.

@Dio9sys Also, the enemy base gets a palette swapped flag. Not sure what flag that is but according to Wikipedia it vaguely resembles the Femboy Pride flag. So Sopwith is Trans vs. Femboys now?!
