Here's an updated mini-album of my most recent games for DOS. If you want to check them out, you can visit my site at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/ #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Here's my #cga palette chart. It shows the 78 unique 4-colour palettes available in 320x200 resolution on #cga #ibmpc machines from the early #msdos era. It's probably the prettiest technical document I've ever made.

CGALIB has had an update! Not to the library itself, but the supplied utilities for creating assets are much improved.

Full projects will still go beyond what the new utils can do, but simple projects will be easier to get started. Good for jam games, maybe.

Today's article goes through the capabilities of #cga, detailing what different graphics modes are available. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/192/what-can-cga-do #ibmpc #msdos

I'm slowly moving these old articles about #cga from my personal web site to the DOS games one. They focus on what #cga graphics are capable of. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/190/my-journey-into-cga-graphics #msdos #ibmpc

In this article, I move on to the infamous 4-colour graphics mode, and discuss the six fixed palettes and the uses they could be put to. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/194/cga-graphics-not-all-cyan-and-magenta #ibmpc #msdos #cga
