- The SPX Library Copyright 1993 Scott D. Ramsay
- =====================================================
- The (shareware) SPX library allows Turbo Pascal 6.0 and 7.0 programmers to
- EASILY write games in the native 320x200x256 VGA mode. It includes all the
- routines needed for a game. Animation, Sound, text and various input devices.
- Advanced graphic techniques. Such as Parallax scrolling, tile map scrolling,
- displaying sprites on layers and 3D perspective drawing.
- Advanced features such as direct screen writes. Automatic implementation
- of 386 specific code for 386 and later processors. Complete control of the
- keyboard to allow of simultaneous multiple key presses. Direct access
- to sound devices. Eight real time clocks for acurate timing regardless of
- computer speed (four are acurate 18.2sec resolutions, the other four are
- adjustable for even faster resolutions).
-
- The library also includes full GUI programs to help you create your game.
- Such as the Sprite maker, PCX2VSP converter, Tile map maker, Font editor, and
- even a POCO program to convert CEL2VSP for Animator PRO users.
-
- Seven examples with source is included to show certain features of the
- library. Also to help you on your way. Three full games are included
- (source code of games for registered users) to see the how gaming concepts
- are done.
