Hello,

I have a question.
I have Quick Basic 4.5 and I want to create 265 colors in DOS (with qbasic)
How do I have to do that???

Regards,
Lars JansenSCREEN 13, and the graphics commands. (LINE, PSET, CIRCLE, etc)And how can I use that 265 colors?
For example in screen 0:
screen 0
color 7,0,7

In screen 0 there are 15 colors (0 until 15), but how to use this 265 colors?256 colours.

there are 256 colours. you choose color 1 through 256 using COLOR.But how do you know what color ou choose?you don't. you'll have to DRAW some shape with the colours in order to choose.

I believe QB 4.5 has integrated help of some form. it has more details regarding COLOR and it's use with palettes.sorry to barge in but COULD someone tell me what is QBasic 4.5? Quote from: comda on February 01, 2010, 05:33:04 PM
