From: egerter@gaul.csd.uwo.ca (Barry Egerter) Subject: Re: Graphics Library Package Organization: Computer Science Dept., Univ. of Western Ontario, London, Canada Nntp-Posting-Host: obelix.gaul.csd.uwo.ca Lines: 43 WGT is the WordUp Graphics Toolkit, designed by yours truly and my co-programmer (and brother) Chris Egerter. It is a Turbo/Borland C++ graphics library for programming in 320*200*256 VGA. We are currently producing it as shareware, but in a few years it may be a commercial product (excuse typos, there's no backspace on this terminal). Features include: - loading and saving bit-images (called blocks from herein) - flipping, resizing and warping blocks - loading and saving palette, fading, several in memory at once - graphics primitives such as line, circle, bar, rectangle - region fill (not the usually useless floodfill) - sprites (animated bitmaps), up to 200 onscreen at once - joystick/mouse support - SB support (VOC and CMF) - tile-based game creation using 16*16 pixel tiles to create a 320*200 tile map (or game world) like in Duke Nuke 'Em - number of sprites increased to 1000 - Professional Sprite Creator utility and Map Maker - routines to simplify scrolling games using maps, etc - FLI playing routines, sprites can be animated over the FLI while playing - PCX support, soon GIF - EMS/XMS coming soon as well Leave E-mail to Barry Egerter at egerter@obelix.gaul.csd.uwo.ca Files available on: (use mget wgt*.zip) SIMTEL20 and mirrors pd1: nic.funet.fi pub/msdos/games/programming Some sites may not have recent files, contact me for info regarding the up-to- date information.
