Code: (Select All)
WWidth = 1120: WHeight = 820: Mode = 32: Size = 24
Screen _NewImage(WWidth, WHeight, Mode)
SetFont: f& = _LoadFont("C:\WINDOWS\fonts\courbd.ttf", Size, "monospace"): _Font f&
Locate 15, 40: Print "X"
p% = Screen(15, 40)
Print "screen(15,40) is"; p%: Sleep
' with lines 3 and 4 both in, an Illegal Function message is shown.
' with line 3 in, and line 4 out, the char number is reported as 219.
' with line 4 in and line 3 out, the expected code (88) is shown.
