[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] =*= Need FAST video routines for MS C =*=

yohanan@csd4.csd.uwm.edu (Steven J. Yohanan) (05/21/91)

	I am in desperate need of any routines written for Microsoft C
	(I have version 6.0) which better utilize the video display than
	the ones shipped with the compiler...

	Specifically, I'd like to do very fast two-dimensional
	animation on a SVGA card (I currently have a Paradise) but
	their routines just don't cut the mustard!...


Please e-mail any responses...Thanks in advance...

I find hard to imagine VGA etc doing fast animation as the ratio of CPU access
speed to Video memory to Normal memory is not good (about 1/10 the speed).

Hope you find them, they'll need to be pretty fast and efficient/
BTW what machine are you using? 386 or 486 you are probably ok, but a 286
is just too slow for useful animation.

Personally I use an Amiga (ah,ah no flames please ah,ah)

ha ha,
