SCREENS

[GarrisonRicketson]

 Ok, now this is about SCREENS,..you have various screen options,
Example

Code:

 SCREEN 0
PRINT "SCREEN 0"

This is screen 0 with out any colors.
On the qb64 wiki SCREENS There is some detailed expanations,
of screens,...

Taken from the qb64 wiki:
SCREEN mode% [, , active_page, visual_page]

No statement defaults the program to SCREEN 0 text ONLY mode.
The SCREEN mode values available today are 0 to 2 and 7 to 13 listed below.
The empty comma disables color when any value is used. DO NOT USE! Include the comma ONLY when using page flipping.
If the SCREEN mode supports pages, the Active page is the page to be worked on while visualpage is the one displayed.
A SCREEN statement that changes screen modes also clears the screen like CLS. Nothing on the screen is retained.
Some screen mode text sizes are adjustable with and some support    WIDTH and some support   PCOPY   and page flipping.

This is a Example, also taken from the qb64 wiki:
http:// http://qb64.net/wiki/index.php?title=SCREEN

Code:

  
SCREEN 0
PRINT "This is SCREEN 0 - only text is allowed!"
FOR S = 1 TO 13
   IF S < 3 OR S > 6 THEN 
     DO: SLEEP: LOOP UNTIL INKEY$ <> ""
     SCREEN S
     PRINT "This is SCREEN"; S; " - can use text and graphics!"
       IF S = 2 OR S = 11 THEN PRINT "Monochrome - no COLOR statements!"
       IF S = 10 THEN 
         COLOR 2: PRINT "This SCREEN has only 4 colors. Black and 3 white: 2 blinks.
         CIRCLE (100,100), 50, 2
       ELSE : CIRCLE (100,100), 100, S
       END IF
   END IF
NEXT 
SLEEP
SYSTEM 

There are a lot more examples, on the wiki, you can also try makeing up your own, and seeing what they look like useing different screens.
 This actually should be something you get familiar with when you first start,..So you have some idea as to which screen mode is best for the prgram you are trying to do.
