It was hard to complete this pdf but not because it was difficult to make it from a technical point of view but because the time available is less and less! It wanted a year and more, in the end, however, I can propose it here online today 18-11-2018. There is talk of making retro -style video games in 2018, using the DOS system that was so popular in the PC world before Windows, Linux and others took the complete upper hand. In those eighties and nineties of the millennial hundred, real PC video games were made, as they were done once! I had the privilege of living that golden era, not only on PC but on many other platforms, such as Commodore 64 and Amiga ... Thanks to this PDF book it will be possible to use a tools that I have assembled specifically, made of dosbox, rhide, djgpp, cheerful.h, ppcol ... thanks to this simple material now dated it will be possible to achieve anything that can work on a DOS systemBy typing simple routines in C. But why the dos?! This choice was born a bit because, as I have already described, I spent my first years as a Pciista with this operating system but also because the DOS now is perfectly emulated by every platform and on every computer. Dye there is a Dosbox emulator, it means that our DOS video game can be perfectly integrated to it and therefore compatible with any hardware. However, it should not be thought that with the directives I propose in this pdf, a thousands of wasted megabytes is released! No, in this work I explain that it will be beautiful to remain within the skills of the single floppy, the 256 colors of the VGA video card, of something that works on a 386 or higher CPU. That can be managed with Autoboot by a floppy on a real computer of that time! Fantastic sometimes go back to make something that moves on a CRT screen in the 320x200 resolution with audio soundblaster ... try it. *Documentation Included |
