Hello. I posted this message before but didn't check for any replies so I'll post it again(Shorter though). I'm in high school and interested in going into the computer Game programming/design field. What will be the job market like in five years? Good pay? What courses do I take in college? Ok, right now, I'm working on a computer game. It's basically using the same interface of Ultima IV. What is the fastest way of scrolling the map like that? I'm using 640x350x16 mode and the scrolling is working, but it is a bit slow(on a 386!!!). Something's wrong. Also, how does one set up a virtual screen and use all the abilities of panning in a virtual screen. And where can I get the library that peole have been talking about(I've been reading all the messages for a while). Thank you in advance Deepak ps: Use deepak as subject since this is my dad's account.
