SCREEN (instruction)

The SCREEN command allows you to switch mode, from text mode (where you can display only characters) to graphics mode, where you can draw points, lines, and complex shapes on the screen.

Most games use graphics mode to display characters, scenery, and animations. You can create slide shows and presentations with eye-catching visuals, and you will have access to canvas to create digital art.

The mode parameter represent a specific graphic mode, different from target to target.
