This is what I consider my first real C++ project written for an 386SX-16MHz PC (that where the PCs we had in the lab) between December 1994 and January 1995! It was developed as a one month exercise while I studied CS back in thoose days. Prof. Dr. Ulrich Breymann http://www.ubreymann.de/ teached me how to programm in C++.
I may add that I got the best possible score for this excerise.
You can watch a preview on Youtube right here:
- MS Dos 5.0 or higher
- Intel 386SX 16Mhz with x87 Coprocessor
- VGA card
Note: It will work just fine in DosBox!
In order to open and/or compile the project you need the Borland C++ 3.3 Compiler suite.
