3 colors per tile

Hello. I was trying to overlap a tile, an item and a sprite, each with a different color, to get 3 colors on a single coordinate, but the sprite always covers the item, regardless of my using BGC * to make it transparent. Is there any way to get all 3 to show?

Thanks

You might want to have a look at the multicolor bitsy version. https://aurysystem.itch.io/multicolorbisty

Thank you. I do use the color fork, but there's the fact it doesn't currently allow for transparent backgrounds (I haven't tried using the hack, though, maybe that would work).

Yes, Bitsy Color does support transparent backgrounds. You may need to refresh the page before it actually works.

You may also be interested in simply using multiple (4+) colors on your item, instead of overlapping an item tile and a sprite tile in order to get multiple colors. That is taught here: https://itch.io/t/3442509/tutorial-adding-and-using-more-colors

Thanks! Great tutorial.
