This is a modified version of FemtoBASIC suited for those who like myself use Femto with an SD card as a launching pad to other spin programs. When demonstrating the propeller to others, I didn't care for the ugly/flickering of the Femto in composite video mode, so the following adjustments have been made to this one.
40x7 clear, clean white on blue text (at the expense of lines per screen)
A cursor
A little more program space (at the expense of the VGA code)
The ability to embed colors into the PRINT statements using function keys
The ability to change cursor colors with shift-function keys.
The motivation behind this project is really to have a visually appealing startup as well as give me a good excuse to continue learning .spin. [noparse]/noparse]If someone locates that silly cursor at the end of a typed line bug, by all means, please post the fix. [noparse]:)[/noparse
You may find that it reminds you of another famous 8bit I'm fond of.. [noparse]:)[/noparse]
Thanks to Mike Green for a fun project to chip away on....

The comments and code above are proof that a million monkeys with a million propeller chips *could* write Shakespeare!
