I greatly despise this, but for my university course, i have to learn graphics programming using DOS and TurboC 3.0So i'm assuming this is mode 13h. I have seen most websites like gamedev and google-d for tutorials, but most tutorials cater to directX or opengl. The tutorials i found on graphics using dos were pretty vague and i am not sure which one i should start out with. If someone has any good links that they've bookmarked or from where they started out, please guide me.

The Brackeen website I think is the longstanding top-notch 13h VGA graphics tutorial website.
I used it quite extensively to learn 13h graphics back when I was in high school, and the tutorials are actually written VERY well. I still have all the libraries I wrote using those tutorials.
They should help you out a lot.
Hehe. Almost forgot about that site. I didn't even know it was still up. Very good site.
Thank you for the link

Why would you need to learn it, though? You have something or someone forcing you do it, I'm guessing, since there is no way, no how, that these ancient ways are going to be used today.

Claim you're using Vista64 and you can't run 16-bit apps

With Vista64 you could claim you can't run any app. j/k
Vista: Would you like to run <insert_app>?
User: YES.
Vista: I'm sorry you do not have permission to access <insert_app>
User: .... <blood_pressure_increases>
Vista:Would you like to grant yourself permission to run <insert_app>?
User: .... No I want to sit here all day answering stupid questions.
Vista: Please Wait...........
User: ....
Vista: Would you like to run <insert_app>?
User: YES. Haven't we been over this already?
Vista: I'm sorry you do not have permission to access one of the files this application needs.
User: .... <anger_begins>
Vista: Would you like to grant yourself access to this file?
User: .... <ponders_using_linux>
Vista: Granting access to this file could be potentially harmful to your computer.
User: ....
Vista: Are you sure you wish to perform this action?
User: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Vista: I'm sorry you do not have sufficient rights to perform this action.
User: aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
User: Format C:
Vista: Are you sure you wish to format this drive?
User: YES.
Vista: You do not have sufficient privileges to format this drive.
User: Turn power off. Go get XP Pro or Linux and perform low level BIOS format of drive.
The wonderful new Windows Vista experience. Why use an operating system that actually runs programs when you can use one that tries to spark up a conversation for every action you do. What a great OS.

Linux seems far worse in this regard. Everytime you access system settings, you need the root password. All the time you must enter the root password as opposed to Vista you can just click OK.
Not to mention that specific parts need root privileges to access, so you have to run the filemanager as root. I can't say Linux is much better... not from my first experience, at least.
Not to mention installing things is a nightmare

At least I can gain root privileges and then just do what I need before I drop them again. There's nothing wrong with requiring root privileges for system tasks.

No, there's nothing wrong except it asks every time I access yast, so it gets kind of repeating.
Command lines are one thing, but GUI is one thing. The GUI asks every time you click on something.

Bad GUI. Choose another.

Hmmm. Yes, it seems KDE is much better than Gnome. Sweeter, too.
Installation woes still plague Linux, however...

True, but that won't go away entirely until Linux gets the same support from HW manufacturers as Windows.
Eh, not the right thread for this.

Anything similar to Direct X in linux?
OpenGL - It's cross platformAnything similar to Direct X in linux?
Yes i am being forcedWhy would you need to learn it, though? You have something or someone forcing you do it, I'm guessing, since there is no way, no how, that these ancient ways are going to be used today.
Chuck Gnome, use KDENo, there's nothing wrong except it asks every time I access yast, so it gets kind of repeating.

@Bubba -> Thank you for the idea
