ModeX is cool, handy for scrolling & cutting, hey small pieces get
copied faster on the video memory than on real memory. Larger pieces
were copied slower to the video memory than to another part of
memory.

So the last one thus, your drawing is on a 320*200 screen (virtual
or not) and every thing that is placed on it is cut if needed. (that
was the last)

You skimmed over a 1000+ lines file and conclude it didn't had
anything usefull, you're a fast reader then.

Sorry, your right, i was a bit argogant here.

3D, like raycasters?
In Euphoria for Dos, we'll i'll see it then.
If you can ever make it, it will problely be about 99% asm.
And the multiplayer thing was asked by Somebody else, he wanted to
set a server or anything like that, however i also think (like Daniel
Berstein said) that you better wait for a win95 version and then call
the winsock dll.

Started a war?
All i heard was someone thinking they could be rich and already have
a too buzy agenda...... (that's pretty arogant)
It was that last sentence of you that had set this tone.
