- STK -- The sprite toolkit -- version 1.0
-
- Copyright (C) Jari Karjala 1990
-
-
- The Sprite Toolkit package provides many tools and functions for
- constructing fast sprite graphics for PC compatibles in Turbo C.
- Here is a partial list of features:
-
-
- - Sprites up to the size of 512x255 pixels and as many as fit into
- memory (utilizes the far heap even in the small model). Lowlevel
- bitblit routines optimized in assembler.
-
- - Sprites preserve the screen background as they move over it.
-
- - Exact collision detection.
-
- - You are shielded from most of the hardware quirks, for example
- different graphics adapters, nasty good-for-business-bad-for-games
- keyboard interface and different clock speeds.
-
- - Text IO support in graphics mode
-
- - A mouse driven sprite editor included.
-
- - StarMines, an arcade game which demonstrates the capabilities
- of the Sprite Toolkit.
-
- - EGA and Hercules displays supported, others may be added.
-
- - FreeWare, source included.
-
