This IS rec.games.programmer, NOT alt.flame. hey guys, take it outside. Games are probably some of the most machine specific pieces of software to program. You CAN'T write an enitre game in ANSI C and port it everywhere. (And I'm not talking about games like Moria or Rogue..) I have nothing against discussions on non MS-DOS platforms, but the fact of the matter is, NO ONE has tried to start any. If you don't like whats being discussed, then start your own threads and ignore the ones that you don't care for. There is plenty of space here for discussion of whatever you want. It just so happens that the majority of discussion has been about the VGA and IRQs and such, but that is because no one has been discussing anything else. So stop wasting time and start some threads that YOU (everyone who doesn't like the current threads) deem pertinent. Daniel Reznick reznick@acf3.nyu.edu
