Hi Mateusz, I saw some possibility of creating dll in case of watcom but didnt sure if it is usable under dos.
I understand well that BSD license allowes me to do many thinks with you code. But idea is to provide api as shared or static library and keep it under maintenance. In the past I read here about idea to do the same with tcp stack. Ok, this activity will not affect legacy software, but it would be nice to have library collection for new or active projects. In such case all we can yield all synergies from shared code (shared knowledge, maintenance, and so on) I dont know if my game (another tetris) will really make happy somebody but you can find it here:-) https://bitbucket.org/berk76/tetris Original aim was to play with TC 2.01 and FreeDos and test their possibilities. Now I would like to add some additional improvements like playing background sound and so on.
