program TileExample;
var

   // tile data for top right, top left, bottom left and bottom right
   TL: array[8] of byte = (0,1,2,3);
   TR: array[8] of byte = (3,5,6,7);
   BL: array[8] of byte = (8,9,10,11);
   BR: array[8] of byte = (12,13,14,15);

   @define ScreenWidth 40

begin

        ClearScreen(32, ^$0400);
        ClearScreen(RED, ^$D800);


        moveto(10,10,$04);
        tile(TL, TR, BL, BR, 0, @ScreenWidth);  // draws tile 0 to the screenmemory with bytes:
                                                // 0,3
                                                // 8,12
