how do you make small pixles in qb, with out using a library.

i know that screen 12 has a higher resolution but lacks color

well thats about as small as your gonna get big guy :wink:

Methinks he wants 800X600 or something like that...

ASM$ = ASM$ + "blablabla"

CALL ABSOLUTE(ASM$)

or something like that, check dav's code post.

oh christ, people.

Looks, you want VESA routines. Any mode higher than 640x480x16c can't fit into VGA's 256k buffer, so you need special video modes to do it with. This site has some really good pseudo-code explanations on how to use it, just translate it to qb and you should be set. But be warned: using your own graphics routines takes optimization, and ultimately a lot more work than if you used a set of routines already made for you.

Yeah, what's wrong with using a library, you lameass?

Again... Oracle has showed his ability to read one's mind.

Higher resolutions you mean? Without library? Owowowowow lol. I hope you understand some of this:

Try out Interrupt 10h with AX'es ranging from 4F00h to 4F0Ch.

E.g. to set a video mode:

• VESA SuperVGA BIOS - SET SuperVGA VIDEO MODE
  AX = 4F02h
  BX = new video mode (see #04082,#00083,#00084)
  ESI -> (VBE 3.0+) CRTC information block, bit mode bit 11 set
  (see #04083)
  Return:AL = 4Fh if function supported
  AH = status
  00h successful
  01h failed
  
  Notes: Bit 13 may only be set if the video mode is present in the list of accelerated video modes returned by AX=4F00h. If the DAC supports both 8 bits per primary color and 6 bits, it will be reset to 6 bits after a mode set; use AX=4F08h to restore 8 bits
  
  See Also: AX=4E03h - AX=4F00h - AX=4F01h - AX=4F03h -

  81FFh special full-memory access mode
  
  Notes: The special mode 81FFh preserves the contents of the video memory and gives access to all of the memory; VESA recommends that the special mode be a packed-pixel mode. For VBE 2.0+, it is required that the VBE implement the mode, but not place it in the list of available modes (mode information for this mode can be queried directly, however).. As of VBE 2.0, VESA will no longer define video mode numbers

It's a very nice documentation, that Interrupt List

Yeah, I too agree with seph. Try using Future.Library =) Its ASM so its faster than doing pure QB routines.

Also, Seph stop calling peoples' asses lame =P
