Well...Games & SoundBoard programming I've promised ... ok, you'll get it.
For games programming first you must learn the basis of the graphicboard programming ... I think the better reading you can have for breakfast is the Games Programming Encyclopedia that you can find in public domain at
ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/programming/dos/gpe10
don't forget to download the patches at:
ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/programming/dos/gpe10p
so complete the reading with the Ultimate Games Programming Reference at
www.I-don-t-remember-at-the-moment.wait
you'll find a lot of valuable informations on this topic and even on soundboard, mouse, keyboard, joystick, PIC, PIT, DMA, programming.
So... when you'll get your own BitBlt routines running (fast, I hope), you'll feel that with a bit of sound / music ... you can do you first, real, GAME!
