But, if you use screen 10 in that way you could just as well use screen 5, which then has more possibilities like for example four instead of two pages. If you want to use the multitude of colors screen 10 offers, you'll have to go through some trouble, because a PSET (x,y),3425 or something (to put color 3425 on a certain location) doesn't work. So it's definately not as easy as screen 5. Ah, and no, I hadn't really read the article by Alex Wulms... I know a little about the basics of the MSX 2+ screen modes, but I haven't got the full specs memorized, and I wasn't planning on using those screens myself for the time being. In any case, Alex's article (I -kind of- read it now) is very nice, it certainly contains enough information to program for screen 10. To Andrea I say, read the article, and ask no more... ^_^ > Perhaps someone can make available more BASIC games, as published by the > various MSX magazines, so newbie BASIC programmers can learn from them? Yeah, that would be nice, if someone could do that. However, I think most of those games are programmed for the MSX-turboR, and also someone has to go and take the effort to collect them and put them on the web, which I also doubt will happen. I really think experimentation based on Alex's article is the best way to learn. Still, there might be some good examples out there. ~Grauw -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
