1. mode 19
hello all & sundry
a quicky - am i right in thinking a that a euphoria program's description's
reference to 'mode 19' means that the program will only work in graphics_mode(19)
hmmm... i've just had a thought... maybe it means something else... because the
graphics_mode is chosen 'in' the program!!!
<SIGH> so much to learn - so little time
etc... etc...

There are several graphics modes, some cards don't support all modes.
It's possible that a program will work in more than one mode, so
if your computer doesn't support the mode a program uses, you can try
changing the 19 in "graphics_mode(19)" to some other number.

You are right.

Nope, You are right. the mode19 engine is for mode19 only.
That is 320x200 at 256 colors.
I was telling you to use the DEMO as an example of how to layout code.
and how code should be constructed.
I know the code well. Because I helped write much of it. Well, I didn't
write the demo program. Mark Honor did that. I helped with much of
the engine and I wrote the MultiBMP stuff. MuliBMP will work with
any graphics mode. It is a sepearte lib to itself. It is a sort of sprite
lib.
Allowing you to store multiple images within one file. Thus allowing
you to keep a library of images for a game within one file.

You may need to use the function use_vesa() at the top of your
program to use your video card. Look up this function in the library.
