→"Mosaic"
You also use the '''CHG''' key in sequence with two color keys if you want to change all of the squares of a certain color to a different color. For instance if you want to change all of the D.YI..W (dark yellow) squares you have put on the screen to a L.BLU (light blue),
{|
|-
| PRESS || '''CHG'''
|-
| then Press || '''D.YLW''' (present color)
|-
| then Press || '''L.BLU''' ( desired color)
|}
Notice the "paintbrush" effect as the computer changes the colors for you.
(Note: If you try to change colors that are not presently on the screen, the computer spends several seconds checking every square before letting you proceed.) You may decide you want to save the mosaic design you are working on, or you may want to stop working in the middle of creating a design and come back to work on it later. Or you may want to save a complete design to show to friends or change at a later time. The special SAVE/LOAD feature of this module allows you to save designs in all of the activities on a cassette tape. See the SAVE/LOAD data section on page 24 for complete details.
At times when you are working in "Mosaic" you may want to erase your present design from the screen and begin a new mosaic picture. If so, press '''STOP''', and the screen will clear.
When you are ready to leave "Mosaic" and return to the PICTURES selection screen, press '''ENTER'''.
===="Building Blocks"====
After pressing '''ENTER''', press '''3''' and create a picture with "Building Blocks." In this activity, the computer provides you with many graphic characters (located along the bottom of the screen). Using the cursor, you can move copies of these characters onto the canvas and arrange them to create a picture or design. Let's look at the screen for "Building Blocks" and at the groups of characters.
