- >> Re-read his post.
- Thanks! I guess there ARE some people who seem to understand my original
- effort in this affair...
-
- >I did read his post, so should you.
- You surely didn`t.
- No - perhaps you did, but then you must be some kind of block-head as you
- don`t want to understand that there are others who don`t want to just hack
- around in the hardware...
-
- LAST TRY:
- Could YOU! give me some hints/info how I could get into games programming ?
- Of course I _AM_ interested to support GFX cards the best I can, but I
- wasn`t born with the knowledge of games programming in mind -
- unfortunately as it seems!
-
- Perhaps you are so good you just can`t understand that others still have to
- get into it at all - do you think I could write an OS-friendly, fully
- Multitasking, 24bit CyberGFX supporting, all processor supporting new-age
- super super game on my very first try ???
- Did you ever look on what machines I`m working - writing crap code wouldn`t
- probably make a (possible) game work on any of my machines - I`m surely not
- interested in this kind of result.
-
- Another aspect: I simply want to support AGA features for the beginning.
- Why ? There are surely more A12oo`s purchased in the aim of playing than
- A4ooo`s. With some simple care taken to the code it will work on the latter
- ones anyway, with our without gfx-card. Or does direct gfx-card give allow
- everything AGA does ? If so, tell me how to learn about it ???
-
- And to the OS Programming...
- In fact, OS programming is the ONLY thing I`m currently capable of...
- Not with C, not With Pascal or anythine similar... with assembler.
- And everything is CLEAN! In fact, when nobody was interested how to
- program purely OS2.0 code for simple Screen/Window stuff in assembler I had
- to learn it on my own as I didn`t want to do some mixed-code (as e.g. some
- well-known authors of a german magazin did in special courses.
- But this won`t mean anything, I quite sure now ;-)
-
- So, to bring this to an end:
- If you don`t want to understand me - please leave me/us alone, not giving
- such crap replies over and over.
- When will you stop blaming others without even knowing ANYTHING about them?
-
- At first, it was frustrating. Now it becomes more and more amusing to see
- how small-minded some people can act. Read the last sentence of my last
- post to your "flame"... I did my best to give "us" another try... I would
- have been thankful even to you for ANY kind of tip, but - NOTHING than hot
- air even now...
