*** ATTENTION ***
Please note that this version of TGE (1.29ßD) is a PUBLIC BETA version. It
contains known bugs, and is not yet entirely completed. TGE 1.30 will be
released when the problems in TGE 1.29ßD (detailed below) are rectified and
when some more features (also detailed below) have been added.
The following known bugs exist at present:
- Only part of the screen can be accessed in Cirrus or Paradise SVGA
modes.
- In Tseng ET4000 SVGA modes, graphics input such as getImage() and
getPixel() is not done correctly.
Aside from fixing the above bugs, I plan to take the following steps prior
to the release of TGE 1.30:
- Scrapping the current TGEDEMO, and writing a totally new one; it's too
boring as it is.
- Inclusion of a font editor/creator.
- Support for saving and loading images in RAW format.
- Native support for PCX files.
- Creation of a new font format, allowing characters of varying sizes
and colour fonts.
- Inclusion of some colour palette fading and rotation routines.
- Having TGESETUP.C load drivers into a UMB where possible, freeing more
conventional memory.
If time is short, some of the larger changes may be held over until a later
release.
If you have any comments or suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them.
Also, I would like to extend my thanks to all members of the TGE beta team
for their time and assistance.
