missing colour 9 - bug or feature lack
#3
boriel Wrote:INK 9 is not implemented. Basically, INK 9 = INK 1.
INK 8 is implemented, on the other hand.
The same applies for paper.

ZX BASIC uses its own print routine, which is faster than the one in the ROM.
It allows ITALIC and BOLD, and OVER 2 and OVER 3.
Try:
Code:
PRINT BOLD 1; "Hello World"
PRINT ITALIC 1; "Hello World";
PRINT BOLD 1; ITALIC 1; "Hello World";
I will study whether to include INK/PAPER 9 and how, anyway.

thanks - i don't know how to help on it - i think this would be in the part of the code related to the ink/paper 8 - i don't know if my custom library, print64x32.bas , can be useful on helping it

btw, would be great if the 'italic' command could be renamed to 'oblique' or 'slant' - naming 'oblique' as 'italic' is a similar mistake as naming 'ellipse' as 'oval', when they are completelly different things (a mistake sadly used on Nodebox ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://nodebox.net">http://nodebox.net</a><!-- m --> ), and fixed on Shoebot fork ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://shoebot.net">http://shoebot.net</a><!-- m --> ) ) - maybe 'oblique', for example, being used by default, and deprecating 'italic' (for that people still using that), would be the best idea?
