Hi! I'm looking for a 16-color EGA/VGA library for Turbo C. I'm mainly looking for support for the 320x200x16-color mode, clipping and, if possible, SFX and VGA palette support. This is for a Mario/space-type game. Any suggestions?

There's a makefile for Borland C, but I don't know how well maintained it is ..

Mode 13h is dead simple - I'm pretty sure everyone creates his own

implementation for every need, tailored to the given game/program.
If you really have no idea how to start, feel free to look (or even
reuse) my own mode 13h "library" which I wrote for Sudoku86:
http://sourceforge.net/p/sudoku86/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/video.c
If that's still too obscure, then I'd recommend giving up on Turbo C,
and switching to DJGPP + Allegro, like thousands of game programmers did
twenty years ago. There, you get video for multiple video modes, sound
and joystick/mouse support all within a single API.

True. I'm using that for another game.

Well, I'm actually using Open Watcom with Game32 for another game, but I kind of like planar graphics. :)
