Color Mask is used to simple make colorful objects.

• Colors are represented by numbers (0-9).

Note: Maybe in the future we will add more range and some editor.

• Space (' ') and blank ('\0') are used as alpha.
• Color mask should be same as GameObject Content.
• Colors are translated by Display.

• 0 -> Black
• 1 -> Red
• 2 -> Green
• 3 -> Yellow
• 4 -> Blue
• 5 -> Magenta
• 6 -> Cyan
• 7 -> DarkYellow
• 8 -> Gray
• 9 -> White

Warning: Colors can look diffrent on diffrent terminal emulators.

1. Color mask exmaple

Let's take a look a this Mario example.

We will use '█' block from ASCII. To make full pixel we need two blocks '██'. Now we can make something with it. Like Mario:

// It's me, Mario!
      ██████████        
    ██████████████████  
    ██████████████      
  ████████████████████  
  ██████████████████████
  ████████████████████  
      ██████████████    
    ██████████████      
  ████████████████████  
████████████████████████
████████████████████████
████████████████████████
████████████████████████
    ██████    ███████   
  ██████         █████  
████████         ███████

Now it's time to color our Mario. We will use color masks. So each character we will assign number (0-9) that will corresponds to colors. Let's see:

      1111111111        
    111111111111111111  
    00000033330033      
  00330033333300333333  
  0033000033333300333333
  00003333333300000000  
      33333333333333    
    11114411111111      
  11111144111144111111  
111111114444444411111111
333311443344443344113333
333333444444444444333333
333344444444444444443333
    444444    4444444   
  000000         00000  
00000000         0000000

And voilà. It's Mario!

It's the same Mario but displayed using diffrent terminal color profiles. NOTE: Font is Monospace, because "pixels" look nice.

And the same Mario in Windows Command Line:
