6-Bit RGB (MORE COLOURS)

So, im sure we all know that makecode is limeted to 15 colours. However, on hardware the screens are often so small that if someone - me - were to combine the colours red, green and blue then more colours could be produced. However, in order for it to act like a real LED display, we would need brightness control. Now how can we do that? By creating a colour pallete with five shades of R, G and B of course!

Now with some clever positioning of colours next to each other and the help of the tiny screens of handheld arcade hardware (sorry big arcade users), we can create a maximum of 125 total colours! (i think)

All of the instructions and formulas to convert RGB-255 to RGB-5 are in the last page of the menu in the code, where it says Docs.

(Idk how you guys could automatically transfer the colour pallete to another game, sorry!)

Have fun making games or other thingys with 125 (maybe) colours!
