This version of the game actually requires thought! ;-) Challenge your mental imaging capabilities and boggle your mind while getting the pants beat off of you by a stupid computer program running in a FULL SCREEN 640x480 8 bit display in OS/2! This is a simple application I threw together using Scitech's excellent MGL (Multiplatform Graphics Library). Though it is not terribly graphically impressive, it exercises the ability of MGL to change to 640x480 8 bit color screen mode and display graphics and directly access the hardware color palette. If all reports from this application are good, I will port more graphically impressive applications to OS/2 using Scitech's MGL (such as Retrocade). Also after receiving some feedback, I will release the source to this program to the public. REQUIREMENTS: You *must* install and boot up with a copy of SDDHELP.SYS from Scitech's Display Doctor software from beta 19 or higher. You must do this NO MATTER WHICH VIDEO DRIVERS YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING. RECOMMENDATIONS: If the Scitech Display Doctor video drivers work with your video hardware, USE THEM. :-) DOWNLOADS: Scitech Display Doctor and MGL are available at: http://www.scitechsoft.com 4D Tic-Tac-Toe is available at: http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com/downloads/mgl_4dttt.zip FEEDBACK: Feedback is very much encouraged and welcome. I need to know how well MGL is working with your systems before I can decide it is worthwhile to port a larger application using MGL. Let me know whether or not this works with your hardware and drivers. Write to mamedevatstny.rr.com. Be sure to read the ReadMe.OS2 file included completely before using this software. ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
