- Fastgraph is a programmer's graphics library. It is a collection of
- low-level functions that are designed to give the programmer complete
- control over a DOS-based IBM-compatible computer. Fastgraph is
- written in highly optimized assembly language, and is characterized
- by blindingly fast speed. Here are some of the features of Fastgraph:
-
- -- Support for Microsoft C, Turbo C, QuickC, Microsoft FORTRAN and
- QuickBASIC
- -- Small, Medium and Large memory models
- -- 19 different video modes, including VGA, EGA, MCGA, Hercules,
- Tandy, CGA and various text modes

- Fastgraph/Light is a subset of Fastgraph. Fastgraph/Light is shareware.
- It does everything Fastgraph does, excluding functions requiring real
- numbers, such as the world space coordinate system, and the variable-sized
- character font. Fastgraph/Light requires a runtime module FGDRIVER.EXE
- which is loaded as a TSR. The professional version of Fastgraph is
- a linked-library requiring no external drivers.
-
- Fastgraph has been used in the following shareware and commercial games:
- Scramble, the Las Vegas EGA Casino, MicroBucks II, MicroBucks III, Video
- Poker a la Carte, Big Bertha, Klondike, Keno, Test Drive III, Day of the
- Viper, Gunboat, Steel Thunder, Once Upon a Time volumes I, II, and III,
- and Puppet Playhouse.
