Possible imporvement to FadeStepColor

[tbsp]

I believe the FadeStepColor function could be improved by changing the calls to set_bkg_palette and set_sprite_palette to one call each outside the for loop:

https://github.com/Zal0/ZGB/blob/master/common/src/Fade_b.c#L61

void FadeStepColor(UINT8 i) {
	UINT8 pal, c;
	UWORD palette[4];
	UWORD palette_s[4];
	UWORD* col = ZGB_Fading_BPal;
	UWORD* col_s = ZGB_Fading_SPal;

	for(pal = 0; pal < 8; pal ++) {
		for(c = 0; c < 4; ++c, ++col, ++col_s) {
				palette[c] = UpdateColor(i, *col);
				palette_s[c] = UpdateColor(i, *col_s);
		};
	}
	set_bkg_palette(pal, 8, palette);
	set_sprite_palette(pal, 8, palette_s);
	delay(20);
}

This would reduce the number of function calls, and in cases where the for loop takes longer than a single frame would reduce the chances of the palette updates spanning frames (since they occur closer together), thus reducing out-of-sync palette updates.

A think few additional changes are needed:

1. palette and palette_s should be size of 4*8, rather than 4.
2. Assignment of palette(_s) array should account for the size change.
3. delay should be replaces with a vblank delay.
4. Add a vblank delay to avoid mid screen changes.

void FadeStepColor(UINT8 i) {
	UINT8 pal, c;
	UWORD palette[4*8]; // change
	UWORD palette_s[4*8]; // change
	UWORD* col = ZGB_Fading_BPal;
	UWORD* col_s = ZGB_Fading_SPal;

	for(pal = 0; pal < 8; pal ++) {
		for(c = 0; c < 4; ++c, ++col, ++col_s) {
				palette[c + (pal*4)] = UpdateColor(i, *col); // change
				palette_s[c + (pal*4)] = UpdateColor(i, *col_s); // change
		};
	}

	// Wait for vblank so that we don't start the fade in the middle
	// of the screen.
	fade_vbl_delay(1); // change
	// Apply all 8 palettes at the exact same time.
	set_bkg_palette(0, 8, palette);
	set_sprite_palette(0, 8, palette_s);
	fade_vbl_delay(2); // change
}
