GRAPHICS AND
COLOR
Introduction
The old expression, "a picture is worth a thousand
words", is appropriate when discussing the graphics
and color capabilities of your Commodore 16. With
out going into a lengthy explanation of what you can
do artistically, this section will review some of the
Commodore 16's graphic flair.
Using Graphic Symbols
• Earlier, in Section 2, the graphic symbols were
discussed. You can use the symbols to create
graphs and figures, as well as more elaborate
representations.
•You can simulate animation by alternating graphic
symbols or moving a graphic figure around the
screen in a program.
Simple Animation
This program simulates animation by alternating the
circle {" SHIFT & Q) and heart ( SHIFT & S) symbols.
If you use your imagination, you could consider this a
heartbeat of sorts.
