Hello, I am working on a game and have most of the mechanics worked out, jokes its far from. I am taking a break from it and have moved onto a graphical display for it. I want to use ASCII to display my game. I have two questions which are probably simple but I never dealt with. First
Second. How do I get Turing to output characters by giving it ASCII values? Thanks to anyone who helps. |

If you use "put" and "locate" it will work by character columns and rows. You can also change the mode to text with "View.Set ("text")", but I don't recommend it. I am actually not sure about your second question and I don't have Turing right now. |

Ascii values can be outputted to the screen using
as for setting by rows and columns, you can use
screen allows you to use both text and graphics, while still allowing you to set by rows/columns. |

Thanks for the help, but I tried that and it doesn't work for the extended ASCII.. Does Turing even support the extended? |

You can see all the values of the keys in the F10 help documentation. What do you mean by extended |

Here this is what I am trying to get, look at the extended set of ASCII characters. http://www.asciitable.com/ |

Ah, In that case, you will need to use View.Set("msdos"). This changes the characters from 128 on to the extended set, as opposed to the normal one. |

Thanks you that's exactly what I needed. |
