Hullo. Does anyone know of any good tutorials for writing DOS games? I''m using DJGPP and Allegro, but I want to use DJGPP and my own graphics routines. Most of the sites I''ve found show 320 x 240 x 8 game programming. I want to know how to set different resolutions/color depths. Any help? Chris Barry

Look for documentation on the VESA interface.

It allows you to control the graphics card directly and as far as I know, is the only way to open different graphics resolutions from DOS.

For DJGPP related stuff, go check out Inverse Reality.

Also my site has stuff on VESA modes too (amongst other things): The Ivory Tower.
