Black and White

[Craz1000]

So currently at the point where I am adding the death animation or cut scene to the Zelda clone.
I have multiple layers drawn to Sprites&, and Scene&, Which eventually get stacked layer by layer into Buffer& then gets copied to Display& which is what the player sees.

In the original Zelda the screen goes black and white. So I would have to get Buffer& to convert to greyscale before sending it over to Display&
What would be the best way to do this?

I would colorize the version. :)

[Craz1000]

That would be easier. But not proper. :)
Trying to get this as close of a clone as I can.

No color at all? Then I would convert images as I loaded them, it would save time while game is running. Do you need code for that?

best way is to have a palatalized image(like screen 13 uses), and shift the palette to black and white for the effect.
