Background Colour in QBasic screen mode 12

Author	Message
Thomas Mici #1 / 4	Background Colour in QBasic screen mode 12 Is there any way that I can have background colour in screen mode 12 in Quick Basic 4.5 or 7.1. I have found out that setting the WIDTH statement to 80,25 I get background coour but no graphics, I need both. The screen must also be able to load fast.

Deka #2 / 4	Background Colour in QBasic screen mode 12 First, you will never be able to make fast graphics in mode 12 with Basic, second, the only way you can use background color in Graphic modes is to PRINT the text to the screen, GET it, then draw a box, PUT the text as OR and XOR or something like that, I don't quite remember, but it's the only way. Ex: Screen 12 DIM Under(10000) AS INTEGER LOCATE 1,1:PRINT "Test" GET (0, 0)-(100, 10), Under Line (0, 0)-(100, 10), 1, BF PUT (0,0), Under, OR 'Change XOR to OR, AND, XOR, PRESET PUT (0,0), Under, XOR 'or PSET to find the best way to put 'the text transparent -Dekah Quote: > Is there any way that I can have background colour in screen mode 12 in > Quick Basic 4.5 or 7.1.

Brainsaw #3 / 4	Background Colour in QBasic screen mode 12 Well, you can use the COLOR command, or try the PAINT command. I suppose if you were desperate enough, you could even just use the LINE command and draw a box the size of the entire screen, but this would be much slower. cheers, Brendon

Deka #4 / 4	Background Colour in QBasic screen mode 12 not really, because PPINT erase everything on the back to black. So, you have to do soemthing to PRINT as OR (transparent) -Dekah Quote: > Well, you can use the COLOR command, or try the PAINT command.
