Brosco goes Commercial!
Well not really - but I have produced one DLL that has been so
much BS&T (Blood, Sweat and Tears) - plus it will have even more
ongoing development - the time involved just doesn't allow me to give it
away - sorry about that!
Oh - I forgot to mention what the product is!
Its a complete gaming engine allowing you to incorporate
animated sprites into any program with just a few lines of code. A
complex arcade game with many sprites can be written in a fraction of the
time using this DLL.
As usual, this DLL requires Win3.11 or better.
For details got to:

This move is long overdue - as the Newsletter is truly a
product of both of us. This move does NOT affect existing
subscribers - BUT - check out the new look of the site and let us now what
you think. And while you are there - pick up some updates for our
existing offerrings.

Users of 486 PCs - I promise you that I'm still actively
working to get my DBdll working in your environment. As a long
sufferring 486SX owner I still have my sympathies in this area. In
fact the developers of the compiler have promised to get back back to me
by Tuesday. If I dont get any joy from them - I will rebuild my 486
to get the problem sorted out.
20th June 98
I have just written a DLL that will allow you to index your
RANDOM files for superfast access. The DLL was writen specifically
for LB users - so you shouldn't have any problems with it. Since I
envisage writing more DLLs in the future I have started a new page for
this one, lonely entry.

As you can see I am moving from Crosswinds because of the poor
performance at that site - but I'm keeping my options open - they do offer
UNLIMITED space for FREE!
In the process of the move I am reorganising my contributions,
updating them and adding a few things I haven't posted before. I
will be doing this one page at at time, so my older stuff is still
available at Crosswinds
Alyce and I will be publishing a FREE Newsletter every few
weeks with tips, tricks, comment, etc. If you would like to
subscribe - refer to the bottom of this page for details.

you forget! |
