Amazingly I still have a number of my high school computer science projects which were written in Turbo Pascal 3. And a few are almost not horribly embarrassing.
I'd like to port them to fpc and write up the experience but I know what the huge issue is: it uses the graphics.bin library which was brought in with graph.p - a snippet of which is at the bottom of this email. It did something like turtle graphics and worked on CGA type systems which were comically limited. Still, it would be neat to see it run outside of DOSBox. So I'm wondering what my options are with FPC graphics. Looking through the code I used Draw, GotoXY, Palette, Circle and Fillshape - as well as IO functions like write, read and keypressed. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks, Kevin const North = 0; East = 90; South = 180; West = 270; procedure Graphics; external 'c:\GRAPH.BIN'; procedure GraphMode; external Graphics[0]; procedure GraphColorMode; external Graphics[3]; procedure HiRes; external Graphics[6]; procedure HiResColor(Color: Integer); external Graphics[9]; procedure Palette(N: Integer); external Graphics[12]; procedure GraphBackground(Color: Integer); external Graphics[15]; procedure GraphWindow(X1,Y1,X2,Y2: Integer); external Graphics[18]; procedure Plot(X,Y,Color: Integer); external Graphics[21]; procedure Draw(X1,Y1,X2,Y2,Color: Integer); external Graphics[24]; -- Kevin Lyda Galway, Ireland _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
