|    Flash the whole screen?    |

      From: br.ta.2818@gmail.com              I'm familiar with three commands in Applesoft BASIC which let you manipulate       the way text gets displayed on the screen. There's INVERSE, which prints black       text on a white background; FLASH, which basically just does what it says on       the tin; and finally        NORMAL, which cancels both of the above commands. But my question is, how do       you set the entire SCREEN to INVERSE, FLASH or NORMAL? I know it will go to       INVERSE at the end of a game of "The Match Machine" which can be found on "The       Shell Games" disk; but        I don't know is how that little effect was accomplished. The reason I'm asking       is I'm in the process of writing a game in Applesoft BASIC which, ideally,       will set the entire screen to FLASH, or at least INVERSE if FLASH is not       possible.              In case you need a refresher, I have the entire program listing of "The Match       Machine" game here. https://mega.nz/file/woMUwJDT#LhO4jjSpjJ3Ei5       -0__HBeLHvMpGcZAGpPdv2iyrJII              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
