This is a collection of text files containing information on several different topics related to game programming. It includes an Assembly language tutorial, as well as a lot of information on programming for the PC hardware. |
|
Straight from the people at Intel, this is an introductory document to the Protected Mode architecture found on Intel 386 (and later) microprocessors. |
|
This document containins information on the VBE (Super VGA) interface for programming to VESA compliant video cards. This document covers version 2.0 of the VBE spec. |
|
This book covers the basics of game programming using the C programming language. |
| Programming Tools | |

|
A complete C and C++ development system for Protected Mode programming under DOS. In most cases, the programs it produces can be sold commercially without licence or royalties. |
|
NASM is a Freeware assembler and disassembler. It supports the newest intel processors, including the MMX enabled versions. As opposed to the assembler included with DJGPP, which uses the Unix-style AT&T syntax, NASM uses the more common Intel syntax. |
|
Allegro is a game programming library for DJGPP. It supports various VGA and SVGA video modes and includes several useful graphics and sound routines, among many other things. |
|
This is the DJGPP version of the Gravis GrIP API, which provides an interface to the Gravis GrIP joysticks and gamepads. GrIP controllers provide better performance than analog devices, plus support for multiple buttons. |
|
WDOSX is a DOS Extender which allows you to use Win32 compilers such as Delphi and Borland C++ in order to create DOS Protected Mode programs. |
