Need some dev feedback here, went to twitter and got nothing and thought here is probably the best place...

I'm working on a dev terminal for my game engine and I'm building a basic app development for it (CLI and CLGUI) but not sure if I should allow for full RGB via Hex or should I just stick with the standard CGA 16 colour pallet...

And I'm thinking of building a basic scripting language that will transpile into an obfuscated JSON structure (Mostly because I have a lot of experience at building systems that use JSON as a scripting language) but just want to know if anyone could recommend things to try

    Most modern terminals allow le fancy 256 colors to be used these days. For some reason my own .colors file for zsh has only the 16 basic colors though 🤔

    Apparently color support and determining it is a messy thing though.. perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to just stick with 8 or 16 colors?

    @Condor that's what I'm thinking, thought that less colours would be limiting and restrictive but thought it would allow for more consistency when building things... Hmmm
