POKEW address, value

The POKEW is the write equivalent of the PEEKW command, meaning it allows you to modify the contents of two memory cells. Essentially, POKEW allows you to “write” a numeric value to a particular location in your computer's memory.

In many 8-bit systems, POKEW was used to directly configure hardware, such as changing the color of the screen or the sound. By combining POKEW with PEEKW, you could create custom graphics and sound effects, going beyond the standard ugBASIC capabilities.

POKEW gives you very fine-grained control over your computer's memory, and it allows you to create special effects and customizations that would otherwise be impossible. It is a great tool for understanding how a computer works internally.

Improper use of POKEW can cause your computer to freeze or corrupt data. Randomly modifying memory can have unpredictable consequences. Valid memory addresses and their meanings vary from system to system.
