Programming trouble at school

Hi,

I'm having a little trouble at school. I have programmed in many language,
including Assembler, Basic, Fortran 77, Forth, C, C++, Euphoria and a few
others. But now, my school wants us to program in a language which I only
have enough experience to load it onto the computer! Pascal! I have spent
some time listening to the teacher with what he's saying, but I want to do
more than the simple stuff he's saying, I already managed to get the basic
structure from him, so I can already program (a bit) in it by now. I
figured out that regs.xx is used to set a register, but what would I use to
call an interrupt? We must write a program using as few semicolons as
possible, but we're not allowed to use in-line assembler (otherwise it
would be easy, wouldn't it?). And of course, we must try to write the best
program in class. But I can't even get it into Mode X (without using Asm,
or even Mode 13h, now that I think of it!), can somebody tell me how to do
this in Pascal?

Also, is there somewhere I can get a tutorial on Pascal? I tried searching
on Google, but this stupid 80486 computer keeps crashing when I use Google
(under Windoze! with IE3!), I'm still repairing my Linux-based system, so
sorry.

Also, can somebody tell me of a 3D adventure game that is available with
source code? I'm trying to write one, but to no success! I can't even think
where to start! (Except to init the mouse - I finally figured out how to do
this!, and set the graphics mode, and play some sound on the PC Speaker or
Soundblaster) So any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Lionel Pinkhard

P.s. Does anybody know WHY Google keeps crashing my computer???
