Re: Graphics.h turmoil Thanks, but either I'm just stupid, or I'm still wading.
Here's the above code I'm trying to use, but it doesn't seem to be working. How do I get to compile it in DOS?
I'm really sorry for taking up your time.
status() is a function, by the way, which accepts strings.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Me. :mrgreen: :rolleyes:

int graphdriver = VGA;
int graphmode = VGAHI;
int graphicerr = 0;
//Directory for BGI Drivers
char driverpath[]="C:\BC5\BGI";
initgraph(&graphdriver, &graphmode, driverpath);
graphicerr = graphresult();
if(graphicerr!=gr0k)
{
status("Error in Graphics Display. Consult your computer technician for details.");
exit(0);

Are you using DOS? Or are you one of the many ignorant people in the world who think that the Windows command prompt is DOS? You really are behind the times by many years. There are many superior alternatives to BGI these days.

I'm a programmer. My attitude starts with arrogance, holds steady at condescension, and ends with hostility. Get used to it.

and hardcoding directories into the exe...
He's just hardheaded in the extreme I think, refusing to listen to any advise that tells him he's not going to get what he wants.

Have you tried DJGPP????
1) its free
2) it has a grahics lib
3) its 16 bit DOS
4) almost EVERY tutorial on 16 bit gfx is INLINE ASSEMBLY so you might as well get DJGPP so you can compile the 16 bit asm cleanly.
