Even though I'm sure it can be cut down to a single program, this discovery involved two. Here's the first:PROGRAML:GRAYASM
AsmPrgm
F30E20
CD0B0079D310CD0B00
06403E80D310CD0B00
3EFFD311CD0B0010F9
0C79FE2C20EBFBC9 The second program is this, though you can screw with it easily:PROGRAM:GBASIC
For(C,0,88,16
For(B,C,C+7
Asm(prgmGRAYASM
For(A,0,62,2
Pxl-Change(A,B
End
End
End
Text(-1,30,18,"GRAYSCALE! Run prgmGBASIC. When it finishes, you should have some grayscale columns. Part of "GRAYSCALE!" should be regular. Another thing to observe is that the grayscaled areas (including unshaded pixels) react differently to a change in the screen intensity (especially darkening) than the rest of the screen does. Grayness only comes in columns, but grayscale images can still be stored to pic variables. After a RAM clear, though, the obviousness of the image being grascale diminishes (though the grayscality is still there). I have yet to do much experimenting with this, but I'm sure others will after the news spreads. The best part of this is that a significant amount of 3-level grayscale is now available to pure BASIC programmers (with the pre-running of an ASM one).
