basic: write a string with print at x=150? ( poke($9F38,...)

Post by funkheld »

Hi good afternoon.

basic:
If the screen scrolls 80x60 to the left ( poke($9F38,...) , a screen appears with unknown characters.

My question:
can you use basic to write a string with print at x=150?

Thanks.

I don't know of a way to tell Basic to use a wider screen than 80 columns, so no, I don't think this is possible.
You can however access all of the tile memory directly using vpoke.
