    If I remember pong used 1bit but was released on a 4bit system. Also 32bit was pixel art... Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis. And FFT characters were flat sprites. It was the level that was ray traced and isometric.

    For those wondering about the app or “whiteboard” he uses, there are plenty of apps like this one. Sketchpad is one of them. In most of these apps, you can copy and paste images, just like he did.

    You're mixing up the idea of bits. 8-bit and 16-bits refer to the CPUs of the machines and had nothing to do with the graphic capabilities. For example, the Commodore Amiga had a 32-bit processor with 12-bit graphics (4-bits per channel) and could only display 32 colours at a time without tricks. My 8-bit machine on my desk has 9-bit graphics. However, that said, the 16-bit machines tended to have more advanced graphics systems so could usually display more colour combinations.

    • @AdamCYounis
      @AdamCYounis  Год назад +1

      There was a similar evolution of colour depth alongside CPU formatting that was also measured in bits. Here in the video I admit I make an ambiguous jump in the edit from talking about colour depth to the system bit depth. There is a common misnomer where "16-bit graphics" does colloquially refer to the SNES graphical fidelity even though the bits in the name refer to the system bit depth, not the colour depth.
      I could have done better here to explain the relationship, definitely. This is one of my oldest videos, which was recorded live on stream, I try to be a bit more precise in my current production which is done offline for that purpose.

    Adam, curious, what tablet do you use?
    You seem to look forward, not down. So, it can't be a tablet with a screen, right?
