1 Bit Video Memory?

Hi, quick question: Is it two colours total or just two colours on screen at any given time? Basically I'm wondering if you can use palette swapping in game.

Looking forward to the challenge.

Palette swapping is allowed -- it's actually one of the optional challenges! We're not enforcing 1 bit hardware limitation.

Ah thanks. I wasn't sure if that meant we can swap the palettes during the game or it was an optional challenge to let the player choose a palette. Good to know.

I think there might be a slight risk when being judged if you elect to do this, but I would personally not take points off, as long as it's clear there are only two colors being used at any given time.

I was only thinking for variety to be fair (think Head Over Heels on the Spectrum). It wouldn't have been a critical element. Thanks for the replies.
