Fastgraph is a programmer's graphics library. It is a collection of
low-level functions that are designed to give the programmer complete
control over a DOS-based IBM-compatible computer. Fastgraph is
written in highly optimized assembly language, and is characterized
by blindingly fast speed. Here are some of the features of Fastgraph:
-- Support for Microsoft C, Turbo C, QuickC, Microsoft FORTRAN and
QuickBASIC
-- Small, Medium and Large memory models
-- 19 different video modes, including VGA, EGA, MCGA, Hercules,
Tandy, CGA and various text modes
-- Automatic video mode detection
-- Graphics primitives: points, lines, rectangles, ellipses
-- Flood fills
-- Scrolling and panning
-- Bitmaps, masked and unmasked, mode-dependent and mode-independent
-- Clipping
-- Dithering
-- Replacement/and/or/xor modes
-- Physical and virtual video page management
-- Fast transfer from any video page to any other video page
-- Pixel run displays
-- Utility programs to create and edit graphics files
-- ROM Text and software characters
-- Animation capability
-- Mouse, keyboard, joystick, timing, music and sound effects
-- Programmer defined world space coordinate system
-- Fadein, fadeout special effects
-- 430 page manual
-- 128 example programs
-- Voice, BBS, and echo-mail technical support
Fastgraph/Light is a subset of Fastgraph. Fastgraph/Light is shareware.
It does everything Fastgraph does, excluding functions requiring real
numbers, such as the world space coordinate system, and the variable-sized
character font. Fastgraph/Light requires a runtime module FGDRIVER.EXE
which is loaded as a TSR. The professional version of Fastgraph is
a linked-library requiring no external drivers.
Fastgraph has been used in the following shareware and commercial games:
Scramble, the Las Vegas EGA Casino, MicroBucks II, MicroBucks III, Video
Poker a la Carte, Big Bertha, Klondike, Keno, Test Drive III, Day of the
Viper, Gunboat, Steel Thunder, Once Upon a Time volumes I, II, and III,
and Puppet Playhouse.
