[comp.graphics] Turbo C CGA Hidden-page animation

ta1@h.cc.purdue.edu (Bob Rusbasan) (04/10/90)

Hi.  I'm currently writing a program for my XT-compatible and would like to
be able to write to a hidden page in CGA like I'd be able to if I had V/EGA.
I'm currently animating by XORing the image onto the screen, but the result
when object overlap is not very professional-looking.

I've tried copying the image in various ways, but it's just too much trouble
and takes too much time to restore damaged things, especially when they're
also moving.

I know how to save a screen in user RAM, but I don't know how to or if it's
possible to put an image onto it with Turbo C.  Does anyone know how it could
be done?

Thanks.
