A few points to clarify, VAG:

  • Palette components: are they 6 bits or 8 bits?
  • I want to make sure I understand mode 1-compressed 8x8 block: it should always be comprised of 32 bytes. The first 8 bytes are pixel palette entries. The next 24 bytes, or 192 bits, comprise (8*8=64) 3-bit indices to select among the 8 pixels for the block. Is that all correct? If so, which order are the bits read?
  • Mode 4 could use a little clarification on what it means to paint the block from the dictionary.

    • 8 bits palette.
    • Yes, that's correct. Bits processed from lowest to highest, lower byte to higher.
    • Exactly as it sounds. Read 8*8 bytes from the dictionary, paint them (left to right, top to bottom) AND advance dictionary pointer to the next 64 bytes. --VAG 12:46, 14 July 2006 (EDT)
