Hey there,

I was wondering if there was a way to get the specific color of a pixel on the screen?
If there is, how would I go about using it?

Thanks,
- Sam

Unless you write a utility that saves the background/text color in some way, each time you call term.write(), there is no way to do that, no.

I am drawing pixels using paintutils.drawPixel()
Does this change anything?

function drawPixel( xPos, yPos, nColour )
    if type( xPos ) ~= "number" or type( yPos ) ~= "number" or type( nColour ) ~= "number" then
	    error( "Expected x, y, colour", 2 )
    end
    term.setBackgroundColor( nColour )
    drawPixelInternal( xPos, yPos )
end
local function drawPixelInternal( xPos, yPos )
    term.setCursorPos(xPos, yPos)
    term.write(" ")
end

As you see you cant, but you can create table that will have everything saved. and print stuff from that table

Okay, thanks. I'm going to store the whole thing in a table, and when it is needed to be saved, save all of the stuff in the table and there! Saved!

Many thanks,
