maybe i'm looking in the wrong places but I can't find a register area and there are a few broken links

What type of graphics do you want? e.g. Regular pixel graphics? or how to use the text to give you graphic style outputs, like ASCII images etc.. ?

i'm a newb but i'm prettty sure i'm looking for pixel graphics
corredt me if i'm wrong but when you say text graphics you mean ASCII charcter codes right? cause i know those

In a true Text Mode (SCREEN0) you can't have pixel graphics as textmodes does'nt allow adressing individual pixels at all. So you need to build graphics from the available characters. There are editors for them, check for the newest as Rattrapmax's, as the older ones encode its output for an ANSI terminal (and would require you to program a decoder).

You can too set a graphics mode as SCREEN 12, that will allow you to output text and pixel graphics at the same time.

Code: Select all

screen 12
defsng a-z 
view print 20 to 27
line (0,0)-(639,300),1,BF
line (100,50)-(540,200),0,BF
do
 r% = (r% + 1) AND 15
 FOR y% = 1 TO 99
   y1% = ((1190 \ y% + r%) AND 15)
   y2 = 6 / y%
   FOR x% = 100 TO 540
    PSET (x%, y% + 100), CINT((319 - x%) * y2) AND 15 XOR y1% 
  NEXT x%,y%
 f%=(f%+1)mod 5: if F%=0 then color int(rnd*16): print "blah"
loop until len(inkey$)

That was made in FreeBasic,. the normal output won't work in QBasic since it's 32bit colour..

Tho, it is a nice example:
