Palette alterations can be used for all sorts of neat effects. Want to render an ocean, for example? No need to make the waves move, just change the palette indexes to get the same effect.
For eg, the pulsing green radar in UFO is all done by palette manipulation.

How can I achieve such great power over colors? I can't find any API for it…

You'll have to be using the latest beta (1.80) where term.setPaletteColor exists.

Ah. Too bad I have the latest 1.8.9 version in my modpack and the same for the CCEmuRedux emulator :/
Thought maybe I could add a shading/shadow system to my 3D rendering API I'm working on.
Any idea when the new version is released?

You can download the latest version from the unofficial build server. We haven't heard anything from Dan on his plans for release if there ever will be one.Any idea when the new version is released?
On the emulator side, CCEmuX has support for it. You can download the latest builds here.

Okay, thanks for the information. I was already aware you can download CC 1.80.
However I didn't know CCEmuX. I'm using CCEmuRedux since it's working great.
I'd like anyone to be able to use the software like intended in the current version, so I guess I'll have to wait.
If we would all just donate $1. Would he hurry up a bit more? Would that be enough motivation? :P/>

The help file is the closest thing to documentation that I know of. Personally, I just read the implementation details from the pull request conversation.

Only one question: for what stands the first number for in term.setPaletteColor()?

The color you want to replace the value of. For example, colors.white or colors.black could be replaced.

The is up to date for the latest official release (or atleast should be, sometimes the community misses things). What Yami used for this post was an unofficial release which the wiki intentionally doesn't track.

So computercraft still gets updates and new functions? Thats cool. I thought after the open source release thing cc would only be updated by users.And there is no entry in the computercraft wiki!? Oh, i know the wiki hasn't been updated for years now…

There is yet to be an official release since the change to open source. So it may not happen, but, from what i understand, the plan is to have more official releases eventually.

Only Dan may accept changes into the main repository, and it's anyone's guess as to when / if he'll release a new "stable". My understanding of the new license is that other users could create and distribute their own versions, however, the main wiki is unlikely to document their workings.
