@All_bonesJones I am getting a little raspberry pi pico 2 that has a port that can be output to HDMI. But it can only do RGB332 color. So I defined a very rigid palette with specific color gradients, only colors with red and green components can have 8-color gradient, anything else has to be just 4 if it has blue in the color. and I picked some spot colors that aren't a gradient, for unique purposes.
it can do 640x480.
I don't have the actual device yet, waiting on a part to assemble it. so, wrote some C to assemble images within the color palette.
nothing for sale or anything, just trying to learn something.

@All_bonesJones I wanted modern hardware that still had interesting constraints, and this 16 dollar chip was perfect.
