Peek Character maps...help?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri Nov 19, 2004 11:53 am

Hi,
Im trying to find the memory locations for the characters

I remember doing this at some point ,and now forgot where

scrolling through the memory using PEEK and displaying the result as 1, and 0s

at some point the Ascii Characters appear..... where is that?

thanks!

mmm, not sure, can't find it yet..

any other ideas?

Im sure it was quite simple, it may have been the Character set of the Quick basic program or the character set of the pc itself....

Someone is going to know this....

Its one of the first lessons for using PEEK....

Anyone know how to view them...
i just made a quick loop with
do
z=peek(x)
x=x+1
'some display stuff here
loop
I keep hunting..... whats the Address?

here a simple memory looker
don't laugh!

Im teaching kids basic....
so am starting off with line numbers..

10 x = PEEK(z)
20 z = z + 1
30 IF x > 127 THEN x = x - 128: PRINT "1"; ELSE PRINT "0";
40 IF x > 63 THEN x = x - 64: PRINT "1"; ELSE PRINT "0";
50 IF x > 31 THEN x = x - 32: PRINT "1"; ELSE PRINT "0";
60 IF x > 15 THEN x = x - 16: PRINT "1"; ELSE PRINT "0";
70 IF x > 7 THEN x = x - 8: PRINT "1"; ELSE PRINT "0";
80 IF x > 3 THEN x = x - 4: PRINT "1"; ELSE PRINT "0";
90 IF x > 1 THEN x = x - 2: PRINT "1"; ELSE PRINT "0";
100 IF x > 0 THEN x = x - 1: PRINT "1" ELSE PRINT "0"

200 FOR del = 1 TO 5000: NEXT del
250 a$ = INKEY$: IF a$ = " " THEN PRINT z: END
300 GOTO 10

but what is the address and I guess I need a DEF SEG statement at the start also...
Please help if you can....
