| Source for a BBS ad with an environment mapped object - It's all asm source, but you need Watcom to compile it. Comes with an extra ASC file format converter. All comments are in Spanish though there's a (shorter) Enlish readme file. Knowing Spanish is very useful for these sources as the comments are good.

You have to figure out how to use it yourself from the two short examples that come with it. Otherwise, it's fairly complete and you can decide which compression routines you'd like to link yourself (assuming you can figure out that much).

Honestly, if you want to do 100% asm development for pmode I'd suggest DOS32 or Tran's pmode. The author here credits Tran for some backbones to his system.

| 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)

A nice, unique look to this demo sets it apart from others. Lots of mathematical based code. Opens up with four grahpics in the corners and a bouncing pixel that opens up to the title. Good design doesn't stay with any one routine for too long.
