Code: Select all

OUT &H3C8, 0 ' change color attribute 0 (black)
OUT &H3C9, 30 ' red value from 0 to 63
OUT &H3C9, 20 ' green 0 to 63
OUT &H3C9, 10 ' blue 0 to 63

I was thinking about asking the same thing about screen 13. Will this code also work with it? I cannot test it as I am on windows vista atm.

Thanks.

SCREEN 13 colors can also be changed using OUT. The BG color is attribute 0 also although there are 256 colors to work with.
