- Introducing the Creative Options Interface (COI1.ARC)
-
- Welcome to the first of many different high speed video output routines
- that I am proud to provide to users of TC++. Included in this archive
- is a C++ demo program called DEMO.COM. The program was compiled under
- the tiny memory model. As you can see by its size, it is extremely
- small. As a matter of fact, the class that handles all of the screen
- output is less that 1k in size!
-
- The class, called BlazeClass is a simple, yet sophisticated video output
- routine that will work on both color and monochrome monitors alike.
-
- This routine is quite helpful for most video tasks and gives you
- a virtually unlimited number of possibilities when doing things on your
- display. BlazeClass will come in handy for a variety of things...
- things that only your imagination will discover.
-
- In addition to high-speed text output, you will also get:
-
- . 25/43/50 line text mode support
- . Box drawing
- . Filled boxes
- . Area filling
- . Attribute changing
- . Area scrolling
- . Area save/restore
- . Horizontal/Vertical lines
- . Shadowing
- . Cursor hiding/unhiding
- . Video/Memory Output redirection
-
- The source code for the demonstration is included, so feel free to look at
- it. It will give you an idea how simple Blaze is to use!
-
- Okay, how do you get a copy of the library... and, better yet, how do
- you get the source code?
