Hi.

I only read your posting yesterday, and I am really interested in reading
your work. I'm
also interested in the same programming areas as you: graphics &
optimization.
I also avoid using third-party SDK's and drivers, preferring to build my own
routines. Last year I designed a fully optimized GUI for a school project,
in just
four months (under DOS, using VESA 2.0 support) with scrollbars, checkboxes,
menubars, etc, and graphics/text overlapping windows. It also featured a
virtual desktop,
and I invented(?) a technique called 'font caching' to speed-up the drawing
of vector text.
I'm currently working on a game, but I'm unable to do fast bitmap stretching
& rotating in
real-time. I would really enjoy learning from what you have done in this
area.
If you want to send me any large files, use this address:
habil_silva@netc.pt

Thanks in advance,
Habil Silva
