I have indeed Played Around.
I've messed with views, mostly, to correct a bug where color #255 was considered remappable (it's not) and ended up skipped over. This also affected backgrounds as they share a format with view cels and thus share a render function. And since scaleSignal had most of its bits unused I uplifted that to add some more remap effects like "replace every non-skip pixel with #0", "draw them as #253", or "draw them as if #253 is drawn on top", which would usually darken them, SCUMM-style.
I've been working on color table remapping like in TSN, too, for a bit.
But compiling on Windows? Well, no. And no multiplayer.
