- Power BASIC AGA extensions
- ==========================
-
- Early versions of Maxxon BASIC, HiSoft BASIC 1
- and Power BASIC were written before the launch
- of AGA systems, and therefore lack support for
- 24 bit palette and 256 colour screens. This
- HiSoft Power BASIC AGA support demonstration
- shows you how to program an overscan 8 plane
- screen and set any of the 256 colours to any
- 24 bit colour.
-
- Colour.bas is the demonstration program - it
- includes SUB Palette32(pen%,red%,green%,blue%)
- which takes four parameters, 0 to 255, setting
- a given pen to the 24 bit colour indicated by
- the last three parameters.
-
- Graphics.bmap is an extended BMAP file which
- includes AGA functions as well as the original
- 16 bit Amiga system calls. Put this in your
- BASIC BMAP drawer in place of the original
- supplied by HiSoft to gain access to the new
- functions.
