screen modes

I use data staments to make bitmaps. And, I am trying to reduce the if statements needed to go between data statemnts. Restore brings back every data statement. If i want to create a brick wall using full and half bircks it would be easier if I could just call the sub with data statements for the different brick types. The turoial here touts the use of bitmaps. Though i guess i could make the using by storing them in variables instead. Doing that would keep them from being accessed when not needed. Though there is extra work in that method. And,i could even put them in subs.

Why not just use FL and put the images that you want on the screen using the LoadBMP routines?

I am writing test programs in screen 13. And, I created a working program using in program bitmaps not using data staments.
I use variable arrays and created program that creats a brick wall.
Had to use left$ and right$, mid$ wasn't woring properly with the math but using left$ then right$ did. I like to be able to modifiy the varibels so I can see results before the program is finished. Which is why i like basic better than C.
