	Digital Tools - Jari Komppa on Text Mode Demos and the TMDC (Text Mode Demo Contest) - Homebrew, Portables, Tools, ...
		Text and Interview: Martin Wisniowski, September 2007 Jari Komppa and a contribution from TMDC 9 Jari Komppa is one of the leading people around the Finnish non-profit group tAAt ry, that do every year the Text Mode Demo Contest, that...
		We pondered on how to get more text mode demos and figured that there are principal two ways of getting this done: either we write them ourselves, or we get other people make them.
		The demo size limit will be relaxed more since people for some reason can't seem to be able to fit text mode demos in 2.8 megabytes anymore.

	Text mode demos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Text Mode demos are real-time calculated computer animations which make use of the native text graphic mode(s) common on the IBM PC.
		The Text Mode Demo Scene is one of many different facets of the demoscene.
		Text Mode as a medium offers several unique challenges for the creators of such a demo.

	text(n) Manual Page
		There may be any number of embedded windows in a text widget, and any widget may be used as an embedded window (subject to the usual rules for geometry management, which require the text window to be the parent of the embedded window or a descendant of its parent).
		Each embedded window occupies one character's worth of index space in the text widget, and it may be referred to either by the name of its embedded window or by its position in the widget's index space.
		Each embedded image occupies one character's worth of index space in the text widget, and it may be referred to either by its position in the widget's index space, or the name it is assigned when the image is inserted into the text widget widh image create.

	Text mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Text mode is a kind of computer display mode in which the content of the screen is internally represented in terms of textual characters rather than individual pixels.
		Text mode video rendering came to prominence in the early 1970s, when video-oriented text terminals started to replace teleprinters in the interactive use of computers.
		A video controller implementing a text mode usually uses two distinct areas of memory: a character memory containing the pixel structure of each character of the font in use, and a display matrix or screen buffer containing the matrix of the characters of the screen, with indices to the character memory.

		A dentro is a mixture of the characteristics of a '(DE)mo' and an 'i(NTRO)'.
		Since most demo coders are usually still busy with their education (read: students) they cannot afford the lastet buzz from the hardware market.
		Full demo source codes are rare items and often they're either obsolete, just consist of very few interesting things, are a pain to read, undocumented, won't compile etc. In other words, don't expect too much.

		Demo Group: A group of Demo coders, graphicians, and musicians organized under one name.
		Mode X is the most common video mode used in demos, with 320x240 resolution, over 3 video pages, and pixels with a square aspect ratio.

		REALITY DEMO ENGINE Circa 1999: The reality demo engine has been in development for a long time and is built to function on windows with direct x 8.
		Demo Effects Library Circa 2002: The demo effects library is a multi-layered runtime pluggable demo effects system built on SDL.
		The really powerful thing about text mode is that you're working with less than 1.3% of the pixels involved in a 640x480 rendered prod.

	Life Before Demos
		The video registers were changed so that normal 80x25 color text mode squeezed four times as many rows of text characters onto the screen to produce an 80x100 text screen with the bottom 75% of the text characters chopped off.
		There is no way to change the text height to exactly one quarter of 14 pixels, so a text height of 3 would have to be used, which is slightly too small, but that's what you get for using EGA after 1990.
		Trivia: The 160x100 mode uses 16000 bytes at b800:0000 hex to store 16000 4-bit pixels, which is twice the amount of memory that would be required in a normal graphics mode--so each even byte of video memory is wasted to store the ASCII character 221.

		Demos are very fun to watch, because they seemingly do things that aren't possible on the machine they were programmed on.
		Demos started as loaders for cracked games (a loader is a small program that was used to identify who had cracked the game you were currently (illegally) playing.) This gradually expanded into being programmed just for fun, or as a way for the programmer to show off.
		Demos didn't originate on the PC; they've been around for over a decade, having grown from the cracktros that software pirates used to tack onto their releases.

	TMDC9 - Text Mode Demo Contest IX

	vbVision -- Various Visual Basic Demos Grouped by Type
		This demo uses subclassing techniques so, If you don't already have it, you will want to get the Debug Object (Dbgwproc.dll) DLL to allow stepping through subclassed code in break mode in the VB IDE.
		The demo is based on Matt Hart's concept of hooking the WM_CREATE message for VB controls to enable changing window styles that can only be set when a control is created.
		Subclass Demo (Advanced).zip (7KB) This project implements advanced subclassing techniques that allow for multiple instances of the subclassing object as well as the use of a "debug" dll to make setting breakpoints in the IDE without crashing possible while subclassed.

		This is the simplest graphics mode there is. You get a 320 X 200 resolution, and a choice of 256 colours, which can be chosen from a palette of about 255,000.
		To get into this mode, the assembly instructions are to load the AX register with the value 0x13 and call interrupt 0x10.
		In mode 13h, the way this memory corresponds to the screen is simple.

	IE and italics problem
		A couple of italic words (maybe in the middle of normal text) are sometime sufficient to trigger the problem.
		These overflowing/cropping effects are rarely noticed because normally text is surrounded by padding which mask them.
		In other words: in standards mode the problem is always there, in quirks mode only if the containing element has any assigned dimension.

		Here's a tip: go into combat mode and just start attacking where you think the item is. With luck you'll hit it and it'll bounce into sight, where you can deal with it.
		First, there is no way to stop the text (in a rather ugly font) from going away after a certain amount of time.
		Additionally, the whole text is set over a "pentagram" in the background, the kind with a the "starlike figure" embedded in a circle.

		Using VGA Mode 13h for Fast Graphics 12.1 INTRODUCTION AND PREPARATION Mode 13h is so widely used for graphics applications in DOS because it is very easy to use.
		In Mode 13h, the screen is 320 by 200, or 320 pixels across and 200 pixels down.
		In short, the easiest way to write directly to the Mode 13h video buffer is to think of the screen as just a 320 by 200 array of bytes, starting at A000:0000.
