[Coco] Coco2 26-3027 question.

[Mark Ormond]

It's in the border, not the standard display.
Using cls only changes the color in the main display, not the border.


Using a 13" TV my border is around 1.5 inches on the sides. On the left side, the very left hand .25 inch or so is green.

Games I have found that do it.

Daggaroth.
Demon Attack
Arkanoid
The King
Zaxxon
Froggie 1.1


Games that don't

Dragon Fire


Later,
dabone

Normal? in none. I assume this condition is prevalent only in games as you
describe, what happens in Basic if you try clearing the screen to any other
color than the default green, say a red CLS 4, or cyan CLS 6?
