Re: [Dev-C++] some more to Graphics

[Elias P. <Eli...@ao...>]

If you want to do a graphics application, there are some reasons =
(hardware-acceleration, 32bit support, support for libraries...) why i =
would suggest you to switch to another compiler (Dev-C++ of course, or =
at least DJGPP). But anyway, if you are using Turbo C++, didn't it come =
with a graphics library ? If i remember right it is the library with the =
.BGI drivers - i think you can get a driver for VESA (for 640x480x256 =
mode), and then just use setactivepage() and setvisiblepage() functions =
to do page flipping.
  Oh, well... that's sound kinda cool.

  I'm doing something like this in my programs;

  unsigned char *VGA =3D (unsigned char *) MK_FP(0xA000, 0);
  unsigned char *BUFF =3D NULL;

  BUFF =3D new unsigned char[64000]; 320x200 =3D 64000

  draw_stuff_to_buff( );
  __fmemcpy(VGA, BUFF, 64000);



  So, is there anyone who has something to use for some kewl and fast =
graphics for games in min. 640x480. I'm using Turbo C++ 3.0

  Thanks!
