Hello, thank you for your replies. In the meantime i did find a few ressources regarding DOS game development.
I have some experience with SDL, but probably no version that supported DOS. Though if using SDL I'll probably end up supporting other operating systems... Does Allegro support DOS as target better than older SDL versions? Best regards. Christoph Am 27.04.2021 um 14:57 schrieb Eric Auer:
Hi!I'm looking for ressources regarding game development for FreeDOS. I couldn't find anything in the wiki, but maybe I didn't use the correct keywords.For game development, there is no difference between FreeDOS and other DOS versions. You can either read the classic resources from the Nineties or work with modern toolchains such as OpenWatcom, DJGPP, the Allegro library, old versions of SDL, etc.I would prefer to use C, C++ or flat assembler.That should work well :-)Regarding graphics, is there a way to support larger resolutions and bit depths than VGA (e.g. SVGA/VESA)?You typically want to use VESA VBE, for example with linear frame buffer and a 32-bit compiler. There are tutorials for that out there, it is not specific to FreeDOS and works with any DOS :-)Is there any development environment or compiler you would recommend for gamedev?As said, you may enjoy libraries such as Allegro.
