Video display modes is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

The task is to demonstrate how to switch video display modes within the language. A brief description of the supported video modes would be useful.

Locomotive Basic The Amstrad CPC464 supports three video modes:

  • Mode 0 - Graphics 160x200 (16 colours)
  • Mode 1 - Graphics 320x200 (4 colours)
  • Mode 2 - Graphics 640x200 (2 colours)

Note that text can be displayed using conventional means in all display modes.
