i'm making a #QBasic game using mode 13h, 320x200 8bpp. i'm using the line doubling feature of the VGA card to make it 320x100 then manually doubling each pixel horizontally for 160x100

i realized i could use a palette with 3 bits red/green and 2 blue, and then do "subpixel" dither to generate the in between colors. i made a converter to test if that would look good, and it does

here's a thread of images showing what that looks like

i added a 0-1 scalar that biases colors towards non-dithered to make things less busy. here's factors 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 in order:

Was going to correct one pixel, ended up simplifying the colors and adding another pose.
