RE: [cc65] Atari Colors and Cursor for Fields Library

Hi,

 

The Atari 8-bit does not support multi-color text.  The text screen is a
single color, and text is a different luminance of that color.  Also, the
cursor does not blink.  You may be able to simulate blinking by turning the
cursor on and off on a set interval though.

 

By a border, do you mean using the graphics characters?  You can use the
defines in Atari.h to print the borders with cputc.

Subject: [cc65] Atari Colors and Cursor for Fields Library

 

I am working on a new version of Fields.  Right now, I'm adding Atari
support and am having two problems: 1. text is always black, and 2. I can't
figure out the cursor's behavior.  I want multi-color text and a blinking
cursor if text/# fields.  Also, how do I define a border for the menus using
conio?
