is there a way to use reverse characters in multicolor mode?

[the777]

no, doesnt work unfortunately. i tried 62 which comes out as purple (getting better). maybe i have to define a new character using 01,01,etc?

.......just tried that and im still getting garbage. no black...

thanks for all your help btw...

[the777]

done it! i just re defined the character as 010101,etc and then used the correct code. it was 19 for an 's' ? weird....

In your original code you weren't setting colors of your replacement screen locations at all:

Code: Select all

155 pokex, 1 : pokex + c, 10 : pokex + 1, 2: pokex + c + 1, 10
156 fort = 1to80 : next : pokex, 32 : pokex+ 1, 32

Line 156 should contain a POKE X + C,0, etc., if you want those set to black.

And 62 is the screen code for >, if that's still your block.

I don't understand why you redefine > as a block when 160 is a reversed space already, unless this does not display in multi-colour mode.

I will take a look if you repost your corrected code.
