I just did a fun bit of retrocomputing archeology.
I wanted to give the kids a Paint program, so I did a quick Google in my current favorite framework and found https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=87469. Ran great and was loads of fun, but looked a bit.. off. Some of the colors were missing, and clicking on the black rectangles sometimes abruptly changed the color. Turns out:
“In versions prior to 11.0, color component values were within the range of 0 to 255 instead of 0 to 1.”
