Let's Code MS DOS: 0x32 VGA Split Screen
A couple of games back in the 1990s utilised the VGA split screen functionality to enable things that were otherwise only possible on more capable machines, like the Amiga. The VGA split screen allowed games such as Jazz Jackrabbit or Pinball Fantasies to display a static status bar at the bottom of the screen, while the rest of the screen was smoothly scrolling in two or more directions.

Let's Code MS DOS 0x31: ANSI C Data Types
New video: Let's Code MS DOS 0x31: ANSI C Data Types
The C programming language has only few builtin data types. But for a beginner those can be a bit confusing. So we will have a look at what data types are offered, and what kind of new datatypes you can build with C.

And now the C128 version is fixed again. C128 now always uses bank switching, as it should. On the PET you can disable bank switching to gain about 100 Bytes of valuable RAM.

Let's Code MS DOS 0x30: VGA 3D Textmode
New video: Let's Code MS DOS 0x30: VGA 3D Textmode
The EGA and VGA card can do a lot of magic tricks in textmode. This time we will investigate how you can draw a rotating 3D cube overlayed on normal text by utilising the EGA/VGA feature of a second character set.

Let's Code MS DOS 0x2F: Mandelbrot Fractal
New video: Let's Code MS DOS 0x2F: Mandelbrot Fractal
Everybody knows the Mandelbrot set. It is one of the most famous fractals. And it is easy to code! At least if you don't care about speed... So let's try to code it for ancient MS DOS PCs with VGA cards! And there will be color cycling!
