DOS

["Erick Ernesto T+H" <italia_vive@Hotmail.com>]

Stop the press!
Well Johny boy made Wolfstein using C, well, the man could have
written the damn thing in Pascal!! ´cause he is a computer-head bro!

At school i have learned that DOS programming its a lot easier
that Windows coding, but, we all have to move to windows ambit,
just because of Billy Gates piracy!! i dont think so!.

Besides Windows, and name whatever you want, was developed in OS fashion at 
first hand..

Ok, yes, its true, Windows programming means awfull work, but!,
only when you are developing tools at your own!.

Ray Deal, Pov ray, modeling objects, lighting, textures...
well, maybe you have to emulate Adrian Carmack and his "skins" for
poligons skulls.

Conveting bmp textures to skins its one thing, the backbone here
is how he covers the poligons skull with it?.

>>Hello everybody

>>I know that maybe there are a lot of you that know a lot more than me 
>>about
>>this simple subjects, but it's for sure that all of you had need some 
>>help,
>>like if there is a fool obstacle that anybody can cross except you. At 
>>this
>>moment I'm in front of this obtacles, and I'd really apreciate if somebody
>>could help me to open my eyes.
>>
>>OK,  so, here is the matter: I'm begining to learn visual gaming
>>programing,
>>so I have found my first obstacles. These are especificallly:
>>1. If I draw an empty cube with just the ridges. How can I apply a textur
>>to
>>each side of this square
>>2. Wich kind of physics is needed to make the calculations of the change 
>>of
>>a view  (f.e. let's say in a Wolfenstein like game, when you walk, there 
>>is
>>an aproaching of the objects on the stage) How can I make this change on
>>the
>>scale in respect to the point of the viewer
>>and
>>3. How does a 3d engine works? Wich one is the first step to make one by 
>>my
>>own?
>>
>>Please note that I'm just programing for DOS enviroment using Borland
>>C++4.5
>>(I think it's better to beginers like me and JC did Wolfenstein using a
>>previous version, so....)
>>
>>Thanks a lot!
