Welcome to VRKIT!!!
-------------------
VRKIT is a full Virtual Reality Kit. This amazing 3D virtual reality engine
features super-fast 3D texture mapping of floors and walls. Great for
aspiring game programmers. Register this kit and get the FULL ROYALTY FREE
SOURCE CODE! Written in C/ASM for the BORLAND C/C++ Compiler. Make your own
3D games and learn hot game coding secrets.
This portion of the VRKIT is a demo. With your registration you will receive
the full engine source code ROYALTY-FREE to do as you please with.
Here are the features in VRKIT:
-------------------------------
- Fast Full Texture mapped 3D environment.
- Dynamically adjusting movement speed for all computers.
- Doors slide open and shut on a timer.
- 3D sprite objects, like lights, t.v.'s, enemies, etc.
With the registered version of VRKIT, you can expect:

- To learn about the secrets of the fast rendering of 3D environments and
objects.
- To learn about the game programmer's tricks of using the PC's internal
timer chip from the source code. (also includes changing the SPEED of
the timer to suit your game!!!)
- To see how to latch to the keyboard hardware directly to bypass the
slow BIOS keyboard handler.
- To learn the tricks of the VGA card, such as mode-x page flipping, 32
bit video latch copies, etc.
- To learn about how to create a fast 3D renderer better than any book
you can buy.
- To see true implementation of the latest 3d rendering techniques.
- To be able to create a game of your own using the source code provided.
- Receive the development tools for the VRKIT (map editor, bitmap compiler,
palette compiler, etc.)
