Re[2]: A86: Dead list?


     Actually, I kinda wanted to make text that was black around the edges, 
     then got progressively lighter as it went farther into the letter, if 
     the letter was that big.  Is that possible?  Cuz I know to do 
     greyscale, you have to flip ROM pages, but I don't know how to do that 
     either...Any suggestions?

if you just want text that's a gray shade (not full black) use the normal 
puts and move the text to whichever plane you want.  alternatively, you 
could write your own puts that would put the text exactly where you want 
it.
     
if you want text with smoother edges (this would be neat) you'll probly 
have to have a grayscale bitmap for each letter and write your own puts 
to display them.

i beleive usually the best method is to write back to your program 
variable, there's bound to be some tutorial or something on that 
someplace.
     
if you want to create an external variable that can't be easily modified, 
either use a constant or use a variable that starts with an illegal 
character (something other than a letter)  don't use !,#,$,@,&, or sqrt 
though.
     
you'll probly want a string.  to create a string var, put the name in 
op1, the size in hl, and call _CREATESTRNG.  you probly need to store the 
size in the string after creating it.  i don't have time to look this 
stuff up right now, if no one else replies, i'll get some examples later.
