Yeah i have used it before but didn't realise it could output flat binarys cheers for that ill have to dig my copy out. Another IDE to try is Dev-Cpp you can get it at www.sourceforge.net. This uses teh Gcc compiler and so as long as you put the right lines in teh compile options it will output flat binaries.

yes, I know the thng with the structure

with

struct{

asdf:1;
}

but its kinda annoying t have to use a structure


and just asdf:1; doesnt want to work for some reason

and the 8 bit and first bit is totally inefficient.. I mean Im trying to make somehting FAST..

and Im still not sure if it outputs FLAT binnaries but I read in the help something with binary blah

for the graphics thing... all I ned is some C/asm code that witll initialize a 640x480 graphics screen and will give me a putpixel function.. the rest I can do by myself.
obviously I wanna do it colour and because all the video cards nowadays are CAPABLE Im thinking of the colours to be 16 24 or 32 bit/pixel in other words RGB but I can do that myself too but I still couldnt get into a grapphics mode in asm/C




thanks, later

that's ok, don't use the variable:1 stuff because it depends too much on the compiler.

that's because we all preffer to use AND/OR/NOT operations they are very fast too.

DevCPP is great. unfortunately, it does not run on unix yet.

Will you use BIOS directly to output to screen? try http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2151/pcgpe.html

(i suggest you to open a new thread if you want to continue discussing this new topic)

ill probably not use BIOS at all

so Id prolly use a procedure to access the vmem dirrectly

Ill start a new thread

great! see you there, then
