NAME

Games::Framework::RCP::Database::Result::Color - The foreground/background color combinations.

VERSION

0.23

DESCRIPTION

The colors table allows a Game Master to give a class, move, item, or almost anything else a foreground and background color for variety. The format is specifically left unspecified: one can use mIRC colors, HTML colors, or any other color system. The only thing to be careful of: do not try to store every color in the universe. Why is that?

Assuming HTML color format, there are 1000000 colors using hexadecimal. Squaring that gives 1000000000000 hex, or 2^48 in decimal. Storage requires 8 bytes for the ID, 4 bytes for the foreground, and 4 bytes for the background, so multiplying 2^48 * 16 = 2^52 bytes. How many bytes is that exactly? Well, take a look below:

Ways to represent 252
2x Full Number Measurement
252 4503599627370496 bytes
242 4398046511104 kilobytes
232 4294967296 megabytes
222 4194304 gigabytes
212 4096 terabytes
22 4 petabytes

Needless to say, keep the colors you use for your home game in moderation. ☺
