SteveMcNeill 33adc04fc4 Add temp folder to repo. It's necessary as well!
Just more initial setting on... nothing much to see here.

The [[PCOPY]] statement copies one source screen page to a destination page in memory.
{{PageSyntax}}
: [[PCOPY]] {{Parameter|sourcePage%}}, {{Parameter|destinationPage%}}
{{PageDescription}}
* {{Parameter|sourcePage%}} is an image page in video memory.
* {{Parameter|destinationPage%}} is the video memory location to copy the source image to.
* The working page is set as 0. All drawing occurs there.
* The visible page is set as any page number that the SCREEN mode allows.
* The [[_DISPLAY (function)]] return can be used a page number reference in '''QB64''' (See Example 1).
* The '''QB64''' [[_DISPLAY]] statement can also be used to stop screen flicker without page flipping or [[CLS]] and '''is the recommended practice'''.
==QBasic/QuickBASIC==
* {{Parameter|sourcePage%}} and {{Parameter|destinationPage%}} numbers are limited by the SCREEN mode used. In '''QB64''', the same limits don't apply.

:''Explanation:'' PCOPY reduces the flickering produced by clearing the screen. x(a) = x(a) - 1, etc. is just to be safe that the balls stay within the boundaries. dx(a) = -dx(a), etc. is to keep the actual speed while inverting it (so that the ball "bounces"). The rest should be self-explanatory, but if you are unsure about arrays you might want to look at QB64 Tutorials -> [[Arrays]].
