BTW Sean, can you look into the code to see how to have multiple colors on the same screen?

I've actually added a cleaned-up version of the code for this to the hack repo if you want to take a look at how it works: https://github.com/seleb/bitsy-hacks/blob/master/corrupt.js

Also, I noticed that sometimes there will be more than 3 colors on the screen, something impossible in vanilla bitsy. Can you try to reproduce this effect with without corruption?

It's actually not impossible in vanilla bitsy! If you edit the gamedata directly, you can add more than three colours to a palette and specify which colour to use for individual sprites/tiles/items.

Do you think you can create a whole game around this quirk, and also give me a tutorial on how to do it?

Instructions taken from folks over on the bitsy discord:

THX! Plus, I started my own Bitsy Jam about hacks! (https://itch.io/jam/haxx-an-unofficial-bitsy-jam)

Oh, I would also like to know how to:

-Have different background colors on a single screen

-Different colored animation frames

That one can't be done without hacks; the corruption hack re-rendering individual sprites instead of the entire list on corruptions is what accomplishes that effect here.
