Screen 0 - Tim - 04-06-2024
OK, just a learner still, but could someone please tell me exactly what is screen 0 and what is its significance?
RE: Screen 0 - Pete - 04-06-2024
It's the only screen you'll ever need.

It's the default text screen that QB64 (and QuickBasic) uses at start up.
PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
The window with the black background is text SCREEN 0. It only allows text, no graphics. To leave SCREEN 0 you need to initiate a graphics screen:
SCREEN 13 ' legacy 320x200 graphics screen
SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800, 600, 32) ' modern 800x600 32bit graphics screen

If you hiv a New Zealand eccent, "better" sounds sounds like a nigative, not a positive!
RE: Screen 0 - Pete - 04-06-2024
If you have a New Zealand accent, you have my sympathies. Actually, N.Z. is a lot like my home state of California. Again, my sympathies.

By the way, Terry, I implemented the code you gave me, SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800, 600, 32) ' modern 800x600 32bit graphics screen. Very helpful. I am only on lesson 4 of the tutorial, but it still helps to be able to see the practice programs more completely than with the default.
