A new project I've been busy with :-)

That's cause it's designed to be run from terminals. Each terminal can be very different to another. Some allow text decorations, some allow a number of colours, some of them need fixed colour values, some other can define R,G,B intensities... That's why ncurses is so awkward.

I misread the message, that's why I posted that silly formula that works in MSDOS if you configure the VGA to deactivate blink thus being able to display all the 16 background colours.

Thanks for the link, but I have already figured it out, like I said. Here's code proof:

Code:

Sub curses_InitColorTable()
    
    Dim As Integer y, x, c
  
    For y = 0 To 15
      
      For x = 0 To 7
      
          c += 1
          init_pair( c, x, y )
  
        Next
        
      Next
    
  End Sub

  Private Sub con_Blitter( conBlit As con_Core Ptr )
  
    
    Dim As Integer y, x
    
    With *( conBlit )
  
      Dim As chType charBlit
      
      move( 0, 0 )
  
      For y = 0 To .con_y - 1
        '' rows
          
        For x = 0 To .con_x - 1
          '' columns
          
  
          With .con_Data[y][x]
  
            charBlit = IIf( _
                            .char = 0, _
                            32    Or color_pair( ( .bcol Shl 3 ) + 1 ), _
                            .char Or color_pair( ( .bcol Shl 3 ) + 1 + ( .fcol And &b0111 ) ) Or IIf( .fcol And &b1000, a_bold, 0 ) _
                          )
            
            addch( charBlit )
            
                      
          End With
          
      
        Next
        
      Next
  
    End With
    
    refresh '' curses ...
  
  End Sub

One thing MS did right was making that formula for hitting all colors so easy

Well, having a VGA or a VGA clone it's easy to do thing "that right"
