I downloaded your example program, liked what I saw. I have an old 16
color video card installed in a 4 meg 486dx-2 66mhz machine.
The graphics always runs jerky, will this run faster with a, say, 1
meg video card? Accellerated maybe? I have seen a lot of these around,
and just am getting ready to spend the 30 dollars to finally get REAL 256
colors (this one does it, but apparently by dithering or something like that)
I am definately in on the game 101 idea, I'll send that file as
soon as I figure out what I am doing with it.
Tnx again,
