Tutorial Descriptions:
- 386 Protected Mode Programming
This tutorial explains how to call real mode interrupt drivers, have access to real mode memory, and how to
let real mode programs access your memory. You will learn everything you need to interface an IPX or VESA, for example,
driver in Protected Mode using the Dos Protected Mode Interface (DPMI).
Listings are included.
- Writing a Sprite Compiler
Compiled sprites represent an interesting alternative to standard blitting techniques. If the advantages and disadvanteges
are understood, images that were compiled into executable assembler code can be drawn to screen with virtually no
overhead. Ever tried to rid blitting code of all loops? This is exactly what the sprite compiler does for you.
