====== TUTORIAL: MULTICOLOR TILE ======

The purpose of this tutorial is to show what you can do with multicolored [[:tiling|tiles]] offered by [[:midres_library|MIDRES library]], and what happens when this feature is used by hardware that does not support this type of [[:tiling]]. It's all about **making a simple animation of a moving ghost**. The ghost resembles that one of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man|PAC-MAN game]] in its various incarnations, and it will be moved horizontally from one side of the screen to the other, using the PAC-MAN effect, of course! 

For those computers that have native support for multicolor tiles, the ghost will appear in all its coloring; in other cases, it will appear with a minimum of dithering. However, it should be noted that the [[:tiling|higher resolution tiles]] remains available even if, obviously, with only two colors (monochrome).
