DOS ain't dead

I am making a 2D tile based game engine for DOS

Can you help me make the tile system?

The restriction is that the engine has to be 16 bit!
The code has to be efficient to run on a 286....

http://4ch.mooo.com/gitweb/?p=16.git;a=snapshot;h=d8212065e78a78a5feb0d80f7e54c546833c3d5a;sf=tgz

You need open watcom to compile the code.

If you make any changes to the code and want to apply them please link me a compressed file of the 16 directory!

I can handle the Hardware Code...
But the game engine code..... confuses the shit out of me!

IF you know of a Free Open Source game (graphics or sound or game code...) library that is 16 bit and is in C or C++ please let me know here too!

I am stuck in this ode because I lack experience and knowlage about C++ object oriented Programming and game engine code
But I am VERY good at Regular C and it's synthax!

Please help me!

You mean graphical? For which video mode(s)?

Unlikely, but there are various libs and toolkits out there.

Okay.

Is it not documented? Are there no examples?

For 16-bit, that may be tougher, but there are still many projects out in the wild (of varying degrees of quality).

If you don't grok C++, then don't use C++ (or associated toolkits that do).

Or maybe you just need to brush up on C++ stuff? Thinking in C++

yes for VGA and EGA

You can take a look at any 16 bit open source game, such as Wolfstein 3D, or better, start looking at some low level tutorials.

I can recommend the SWAG ones: http://kd5col.info/swag/EGAVGA/index.html and the Asphixia ones: http://archive.gamedev.net/archive/reference/listed82.html?categoryid=130

Regards.
