For those of you who had troubles using the WGT Map Maker (design utility for creating tile maps in 256 colors), we've release version 1.1 and it has proven 100% compatible with all machines. We discovered that some EMS testing routines caused some systems to lock, and therefore removed the offending routines. We have also added a user controllable delay for the PLOT mode which, on some faster CPUs, polled the mouse too fast and froze the system. Now you can slow our product down to meet your specific needs. The bitmap editor (Sprite Creator) has also been re-released with delays, and is available for anyone who leaves me e-mail. In a week or so I will be posting the frame rates for our scrolling game fields. The results will reflect everything from a 286-10Mhz to a 486dx2 50Mhz. We will report rates for window sizes of 4*4 up to 17*10 for each processor. (Currently, we get about 9 fps for a 17*10 tile window, or 43520 pixels, on our 386-16Mhz. Rates improve up to 49 fps on this system, depending on the window size) ***************************************************************************** * \\ // _______ _______ egerter@obelix.gaul.csd.uwo.ca * * \\ // // | * * \\ /\ // || ___ | Author of WGT graphics * * \\//\\// || \\ | toolkit for 320*200*256 VGA * * \/ \/ . \\____// . | .
