TEE co.(TM) Glass Breaker QB version 0.2

Glass breaking game with flickerless VGA 320 x 200 256 color graphics 
that uses only QB 4.5 standard library and about 170 bytes of assembly
to do double buffering, get more speed and transparent colors. Because
of the double buffer you need extra 64KB of memory and you'll never see
any kind of flickering again !!!

I don't use BMPs because these files are real-pain-in-the-ass to load
and TGF takes up less space. I don't use BSAVEd format because BSAVE
format is not so flexible as TGF format and TGFs load almost as fast
as BSAVE with my small directly-into-PUT-array routine.

Don't try to run this game on a 386. First you have to wait like crazy
(loading and initializing) and second you don't want to play this if
you can see only 8 FPS. 

MMX CPUs are 20% faster (even if MMX is not used) than non-MMX CPUs. 
If possible get a MMX CPU (pentium MMX, pentium II and higher CPUs have
MMX). 386 tpye CPU is required because this game uses 386 a instruction
(MOVSD) and no check for 386 is performed, so if you run this game on a
286 then you probably crash your system or even manage to damage it.

If you have a 2-button joystick/gamepad then throw it out and download
"How to build your own 4-button gamepad..." from my web-site.
I built my own gamepad and it works fine with Windows and DOS programs,
only restriction is gameport which is beginning to die out.

Yamaha YMF719 or any other OPL3-SA card is preferred for its superior
sound quality and performance. YMF719 is the best choice because of
it's YMERSION capability (really wide HARDWARE 3D stereo that makes
HRTF sound very poor).
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTE: Due to my laziness and memory issues in IDE the sound is
      disabled until the next release which hopefully features
      sound effect mixing and will feature OPL3 4-operator 
      FM-synthesized stereo background music

You can use command line switches. Type the program name and /? or -?
to see the list of available command line switches.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, found a
bug or just for fun. I'm into hardware and software so if you have
built some  hardware and you want me to support it in my game(s) or 
other programs then send me instructions how to build and program it.
I really want to get some feedback !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
