Back when I was a young software witch, the first cool thing you did on a PC was switch to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_13h mode 13h] and fade the 6 bits of its 3 color channels using some x86 assembly. The effect still fills me with joy. Now it's available to your text-mode programs! Specify a number of milliseconds through which you wish to fade, and a balanced, delay-adaptive fade will be executed across the palette. The default text color (colorpair -1 in ncurses semantics) is *not* faded. | Back when I was a young software witch, the first cool thing you did on a PC was switch to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_13h mode 13h] and fade the 6 bits of its 3 color channels using some x86 assembly.
