| 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.

| Grabs the Ultrasnd environment for you - Good for those who don't know how to find an environment variable, but it doesn't tell you much. It may give you a place to start.

Micaco BBS ad source by Chc

190,207 bytes

| Rating:
| 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.

The Shed BBS loader source by naich

| Rating:
| Source for a BBS loader with smoothe text scrolling (horizontal), dual layer starfield, and nifty fade out - Good comments, rather large source as it could use a random number generator as opposed to a table and some other (obvious?) size optimization concerns.

| Rating:
| Beautiful hightfield rendering. If there's anyone with half a clue who can't understand this, I'd like to know. The effect itself is beautiful, fast, and the code is gratuitously commented. My only quip is having (gipped) allocation of some 180k that just eats up base memory. Has no .exe, but compiles with watcom with no problems.

| Rating:
| Emulates truecolor modes in 320x200x8. Not really... it just converts the picture to use a 3-3-2 palette. It's a common emulation mode since it saves time versus quantizing a new palette everyframe (maybe in 5 years we could do that, even if we don't need it anymore. :)

| A pas TPU with source for creating small exes - A TPU that replaces the system TPU in Turbo Pascal so that small .exes can be made. The example .exes are deceiving as there is no built in support for writing text and other such things. Knowledge of assembler will be necessary for most programs you'd write with this.
