Tandy Color Computer 3 User Manual

USING
THE DISPLAY
Color
is
the Tandy
Color
Computer's middle name .
.
. and your
computer's
built-in flair for
flights of
light
and
sound lets
you
make
computing
the
brightest and most
exciting
adventure this side of
the
Land
of
Oz.
The Color Computer
can produce
64 distinct colors (as many
as
16
at
a time). The color
tones
you
actually
see
depend on the quality
and color adjustment
of your display unit
—
not on
the
computer.
When you use
a
plug-in
ROM
Program Pak, the cartridge
program
determines
the color on your television screen. However, when
you
use
Color BASIC,
you
control the colors.
Getting
Out of
Prism
A program
is
a
set
of
instructions that
causes
a computer to perform
certain
operations.
That's
it.
That's
all
there
is
to
it.
So
far
you've only
seen
two colors
—
green
and black. Now let's
take a look
at
all
of
the colors your
computer
can
generate. (If
you
are using
a
TV
or
a
composite monitor, the
following
program
provides
an
opportunity for
you
to
adjust
your colors.
But,
remember,
the
range
of
adjustment varies depending on the condition and
quality
of your display unit.)
Start Color BASIC
by
pressing the RESET button, and
then type
the
following program. Don't worry about spacing, but
be sure you
type
everything else
exactly as
listed
on
the
following
page.
