Re: Mousepaint HiRes help

The HGR2 command clears the screen. Put it before line 20. Also, you may want to change the BLOAD MY.PICTURE to BLOAD MY.PICTURE,A$4000 to ensure it loads to the second hi-res screen. (use A$2000 for page one.)

Thanks, Mike, that's much better... though I notice now that the
picture loads when the disc is booted but if I RUN STARTUP I just get
a screen full of gibberish. Not a big deal, perhaps...

I was wondering if someone could explain what is meant by Page One and
Page Two...  I understand they have different loations in memory, but
what is the practical significance?

Well, if you want to do animation, one way was "page flipping" where you display page one, make a change on page two, display page two, make a change on page one, display page one... I guess you get the idea. 

However, BASIC is to slow to use this technique  :-(
