Can't remember color poke command

Post by KunoNoOni » Fri Jun 16, 2006 5:07 pm

Way back in the day when I used to program BASIC on the atari 800, I would use a poke command that would cycle all the colors really fast. But for the life of me I can't remember what it was. Does anyone remember?

Welcome to the site!

Not sure if this is what you're after:

However, this site contains a wealth of programming information for The Atari 8-bit machines.

I believe you are looking for. . . . . . .

Poke 710,#

to change the text it was. . . . . . .

Poke 709,#

# is the number that coresponds to the color you want

0 is black and 10 is white, if I remember correctly

10 for c=0 to 255
20 poke 710,c
30 next c

Replacing 710 (border) by 712 will cycle the background colors.
