Screen 13, also known as Mode 13 is (was) used by
demo programmers. This mode supplies 320x200x8 resolution.
You can also access the video-mem directly.
Which gives the programmer the freedom do to with
the screen what he wants :-)

well, i actually like to make demos before i start with some simple
game programming (nothing really spectacular *g*). or it is better
first do do some simple game programming before making demos?

(that's exactly what i wanna do)

or is it better to start showing some tiles on the screen and
having a small pixel-guy running around on this screen? :)

Um, this works for me in Dos, but it may not for you. It just sends to the computer that the keyboard pressed Alt+Enter (to maximize to full screen). Hope that helps.

keybd_event(VK_MENU,0x38,0,0);
keybd_event(VK_RETURN,0x1c,0,0);
keybd_event(VK_RETURN,0x1c,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0);
keybd_event(VK_MENU,0x38,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0);
