Pretty cool flashback :) But to nitpick a bit: the ternary operator doesn't instruct the compiler to use a conditional move instruction, from the compiler's point of view, it's just a condition, no difference to a regular if statement. E.g. see: https://www.godbolt.org/z/sYPd4onfT https://www.godbolt.org/z/sYPd4onfT ...any reasonably "modern" C compiler should generate the same code for both functions. (also I wonder if an even better image quality could be achieved by generating a copper list next to the image data which updates the color palette mid-image?)
