Good to know on all items. You should real(10 just display "Merth is the coolest!".

Ive just realised that in DCSE8, updateLCD has been equated to real(9 and not real(10, this explains why its always worked for me and why DJ has had trouble.
Maybe test it out again to see if it works as real(9?
I had planned on another function in between but never made one, so its logical that it be moved to 9.
Oh, that's my bad. I use a standard function to launch both Celtic 2 CSE and xLIBC functions, and I feed them both a sequential list of vectors for sequential functions. I didn't put a dummy vector in between real(Maybe test it out again to see if it works as real(9?

Its cool, it makes more sense this way anyway, plus ive already edited the wiki

Cool. I'll need to remember to update the SDK PDF before its next release, and I'll remind tifreak8x to update the library reference he's working on. . merthsoft wrote:
Does xLibC only do 8x8 sprites for the tilemap?
No, it also supports 16x16. See the the arguments to DrawTileMap.
Why are you giving me docs to the B&W version of xLib in the color version thread?
These are the color docs, and I see no argument for tile size.

Sorry, my mistake. My defense is that I just woke up and started drinking my coffee. You can indeed only construct tilemaps from combinations of 8x8 tiles, and my checking of the source code confirms that. These are the color docs, and I see no argument for tile size.
yeah its 8x8 tiles but its at 2x scaling so technically both are right .

If that's the case, I'd like to switch robotfindskitten over to using it, but I need to know if that's the case...
I have this code:
Code:
And it's doing this:
What am I doing wrong? I draw the image, then the text, then update the screen. Then draw the image, then the text, then update the screen! That seems right to me.
Edit: Also, if I put two "DNOTITLE":DisplayBGPic(1 before the text, it does the same thing...
Edit2: Nevermind, I got it figured out. I had the wrong functions in TokenIDE
Code:
SetHalfResolution(
"DNOTITLE
LoadBGPic(1
"DNOTITLE
DisplayBGPic(0
"Loading\...
DrawString(51,89,0,33,1
SetSpeed15MHz(

"DNOTITLE
DisplayBGPic(0
"Play Help Exit!High score:"
DrawString(51,89,0,33,1

Is there a way to draw directly to the currently displayed screen instead of drawing and then updating?
Yes there is, you need to use the SetLCDBuffer option to change the current GRAM side. This will then allow you to draw to the side of GRAM that is visible to the user. Note that this will also allow the user to see drawing as it is being processed.

Can you elaborate more on what SetupColorMode does? What happens if I set it to 8 instead of full? Does colourinvert just invert the current colors, or also what gets drawn next? Fillscreen I understand (and use 
).
).

).If I understand correctly, these are just using the features of the LCD, so I can probably answer this one. 8-color mode is just what it sounds like, only 8 colors are displayed (1 bit for each of R,G,B, which are the most significant bits of the R,G,B colors set to that pixel). This is non-destructive, so you can switch to 8-color mode and back without changing the actual contents of the screen buffer. Also, colourinvert will indeed invert any colors that are drawn next (it just changes how the buffer is displayed on the screen).
