How to use this extension?

// Set up the palette ONCE at startup image.setDrawingPalette([ 0x000000, // 0: Black 0xFF0000, // 1: Red 0x00FF00, // 2: Green 0x0000FF, // 3: Blue 0xFFFF00, // 4: Yellow 0xFF00FF, // 5: Magenta 0x00FFFF, // 6: Cyan 0xFFFFFF, // 7: White 0x808080, // 8: Gray 0xC0C0C0, // 9: Light Gray 0x800000, // 10: Maroon 0x008000, // 11: Dark Green 0x000080, // 12: Navy 0x808000, // 13: Olive 0x800080, // 14: Purple 0x008080 // 15: Teal ]);

// Create colorful images with unlimited RGB let sprite = image.createColorfulImage(16, 16);

// Draw with any RGB color sprite.setPixel(0, 0, 0xFF0000); // Red sprite.setPixel(1, 0, 0x00FF00); // Green sprite.setPixel(2, 0, 0x0000FF); // Blue

sprite.fillRect(5, 5, 6, 6, 0xFFFF00); // Yellow rect sprite.drawLine(0, 0, 15, 15, 0xFF00FF); // Magenta line

// Draw to screen - automatically converts to palette indices image.drawColorful(screen, sprite, 10, 10);

// Or convert explicitly first let standardImg = image.toStandardImage(sprite); screen.drawImage(standardImg, 20, 20); sprites.create(standardImg)
