│ THE REGISTERED LIBRARIES │
└──────────────────────────┘
There is no charge for the use of these libraries in your commercial,
shareware or other software. There is no condition, permission, no
nothing but to be a registered user. Of course, the libraries may
not be distributed themselves. This will be written in the licence
you receive with disks and manual, when you order.
These libraries can be used with C or other languages.
The standard registered version
-------------------------------
Includes PLIB.OBJ, VLIB.OBJ, VTREE.OBJ, MCGALIB.C, MCGALIB.ASM,
DONJON3D.EXE, FORMUL3D.OBJ, FORMUL3D.C, DONJON3D.C, TREEDEMO.EXE,
TREEDEMO.C, and more.
This version includes:
- 256 colors sprite functions with color planes handling for MCGA
(VGA 19) VGA 18, SVGA.
- virtual tree function.
Display all trees than you can do with the editor by using the func-
tion it use, and parameters from a TRE file.
- automaton functions.
- Improved version of the EXAMPLE C source, with many more C func-
tions.
- source C ANSI, BASIC, PASCAL for displaying icons in VGA 19 and
VGA 18.
- C and ASM source of MCGA graphic library.
- C and ASM source of 3D function.
- C standard source of the 3D maze using sprites for the walls.
- Also provided are an editor to define a 32 x 32 cells map, and
Screen Maker a program that loads and makes PCX screen, and allows to
get sprites until 320 x 200 from a screen, and to make a picture with
sprites.
About the registered libraries for sprites...
Three display methods are allowed:
- by planes of colors,
- with alternate virtual screens
- and with block saving. The EXAMPLE program use block saving (not
the best). Using planes requires only a plane number on which
sprites are displayed, and until 16 planes are available depending of
number of colors of sprites.
The sprites functions in MCGALIB can't use planes.
All sprite functions can be used on real or virtual screen, according
to VGASCREEN segment address. That include functions of MCGALIB, ho-
wever these functions have not the feature of the registered VLIB
library, that is sprites can move quickly through a scenery wi-
thout erasing it, by use of alternate virtual screens and color
planes.
All functions require three parameters:
- x = 0..319 or 0..639 horizontal coordinate.
- y = 0..199 or 0..479 vertical coordinate ( 0 = bottom of
screen).
- address of sprite.
The professional registered library
-----------------------------------
Includes ZLIB.OBJ, ZLIB18.OBJ, VTREE.C, PLIB.C, PLIB.ASM,
RANDOM.ASM, TRIGINT.C, and more.
This library is an extra to the standard version, it includes:
- more automatons functions.
- more 16 colors sprite functions for VGA.
- universal Z-RLE 16 colors library for MCGA and VGA.
- SVGA library using 256 color sprites is coming soon.
- ASM sources of 256 and 16 colors libraries.
- C ANSI source code of the virtual tree function.
- C and ASM source for random number generator and integer tri-
go.
