hello vintage computer people!! i bought these two computer data tapes of unknown origin from a thrift store in the midwest in 2019. they've been sitting in a box in my parents garage ever since. do y'all think it'd be worth trying to find someone who could retrieve their contents?

(made with plush: https://github.com/erysdren/plush)

added "fence" texture transparency support to Plush today.

the way it works is that the user can define a ClearColor (really a palette index) for a given texture from 0-255 and if the texel matches that color at rasterization time, it won't plot the pixel at all. this allows for nice masked transparency if your transparent area is all one color. it's not alpha blending, but its a start!
