| Zed 3d - a document explaining the maths you'll need for 3d. Word and postscript formats of the same file. Zed has an attention to detail and a great way to explain all the math. I highly recommend this to anyone starting to make a 3d engine who doesn't know where to start (start with the math, not the polygon fillers, believe me! the fillers are trivial in comparison). See the bibliography for where to go next.

Crappy Texture Map by Mandrill

| Crappy Texture Map. At least you know what code should be doing what. The filler looks familiar (the register lay out). The texture 'swims' so I'm not sure this is a routine to emulate.

| Rating:
| Bumped glass routine. For TMT pascal. You might call this a bump map type effect. The difference I'm going to call is that bump map routines alter light intensity while lens routines change your position in a texture map. Interesting way to get the timer! :) For C users, that would be int *time = 0x046C. See a BIOS data reference for further details.

| Windows Tutorial 1. Denthor's back with some tutorials on windows graphics program. I (and he) recommend that you still get another reference (like a *gasp* book) if you know absolutely nothing about programming windows and intend to get serious about it. The tut has just enough info to grasp how windows works, the mindset needed for coding, and some basic messages windows can throw at you. Good for the ultra-beginner with windows. (Oh, the example here is a star field)
