Color Pick 2
(With Hex Output)
By Lance Squire, 2011

This AstroBASIC program is used to determine the hex value associated with the 
Bally/Astrocade color ports.  The user inputs numbers in HEX using the 
controller in port 1 and by pressing left/right and up/down.  The screen color 
changes immediately with each change of input.

It is very convenient to use "Color Pick 2" as a quick way to determine what 
the color required in a machine language program.

The program can be loaded with:

:INPUT ; RUN

While "Color Pick 2" is running, the hex value associated with the current 
screen color is printed.  The typical BASIC "musical tones" are made as the 
value is printed on the screen.  This can be a little bit annoying at times.  
If you would like to turn off the sounds, the load and run the program like 
this:

:INPUT

When the program has finished loading, type:

NT=0

Now type:

RUN

Not only is the printing of the hex values silenced, but the values are printed 
just a little bit faster as well.
