Summary: Graphics with more than 4 colors Message-ID: <269@carroll1.UUCP> Date: 1 Mar 89 00:25:18 GMT References: <12492@gryphon.COM> <91472@sun.uucp> Reply-To: acct015@carroll1.UUCP (Bevan Wang) Organization: Carroll College-Waukesha, WI Lines: 18 This might be a stupid question... but I just purchased an Amiga and I am wondering how I can access the graphics mode through BASIC with more than four colors. Can someone help me? Also I was wondering what are the 'in' languages the people on the Net use. I am looking for something just a bit faster than BASIC... I am flexible in learning almost any language(except Assembly). Also(this is the final question) does anyone know how to access the parallel port for just on/off signals?(access meaning which pins to use and what code to use) The reason why is because I need some thing to count a the revolutions of a high speed drive cam. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Bevan Wang acct015@carroll1.UUCP
