   I should probably not try to use templates in this c++ program that I'm aiming at Borland Turbo C++ 3.

   That seems like it'd be asking for trouble

     I fixed it. I'm testing with SDL_Bgi which is neat but handles palettes slightly differently, so colors were a pain to fix

     this is the POC for the flag-DSL-bytecode renderer. Right now it can only render rectangles, but that's a start.

     this is for VGAPride, my program to display pride flags on DOS:

     @sundhaug92 the goal being that I can port over all my existing flags, then it'll be easier to iterate on new flags since I can have a high level compiler (that doesn't have to run on DOS) compile new flag definitions to byte code

     @foone Silly question, but what is Borland Turbo C++? I suppose I think of most C++ as being developed with LLVM or GCC.

     @aidenfoxivey it's a commercial c++ compiler from 1990 made by Borland, targeting MS-DOS. I'm using it to be period-accurate to the kind of program I'm making.
