Most of the docs are some simple linear algebra. They spell out the equations in the end for those who can't completely understand them.

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.

| Another DOS extender option. I didn't test this for usefulness. I doesn't look any more difficult to learn to use than Adam Seychell's (sp?) Dos32 or Thomas Pytel/Charles Scheffold's Pmode/w. How well it functions is another story. Full documentation available. Comes with a tetris clone presumeably made using the extender. No source.

| A combination of a dos extender and a demo library containing a lot of useful functions. It's very useful for intros because the tiny version is very small (including a sb and gus modplayer). C, Assembler

| A DOS protected mode extender - Comes with full source and looks fairly complete including real mode call back support. Worth giving a look at if you'll find it easier to use than Tran's pmode or DOS32.

| Rating:
| Xi Development System, a pmode extender. Uses tlink in the end, but works from watcom and tasm. Possibly a contender if you're writing a 64k intro and need a pmode extender. I'm unsure of it's stability, but it's small.

| Source for "asynchronous" comm connections - A library meant for opening COM lines and other serial line connections. It's supposedly asynchronous (but maybe in a later version for this only supports one). Not too demo scene relevant, but it could make for great modem-modem networking in a game.

| 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. :)

3DS converter by MRI of Doomsday

| Rating:
| Reads a 3ds file and outputs an easier to read format. Good utility with full source for reading .3DS files. It's easily tweakable (with a #define) to read from a file or memory and not that difficult to tweak for your own 3d structures. It's also done well enough that adding support for more features of the .3ds format should not be that difficult from a coding standpoint. Specs are admittedly hard to find.

| A bin 2 db util. See my comments to incpro3.zip. Also, take out the "coded in 100% Assembler" line. It's dorky, especially for something whose main function (input/output) is easiest handled by a high level language and whose speed of execution is on the magnitude of 2 seconds.

| 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.

| A freeware assembler with good support. People have been switching from TASM to this assembler, especially linux and 68K coders. It is still being supported by the makers so it understands newer op codes, like mmx instructions, so you don't need to get intel's 'macros' for new opcodes.
