Yup that will be included too. It's currently broken at the moment but it should be an easy fix.

I'm working on an entry for the #DOSember Game Jam.

Skifree DOS edition!

Are you sick and tired of booting into Windows just to play Skifree? Now you can get your skiing fix directly in DOS.

There's still a bit to do but I'm happy with how it's progressing.

The CGALIB music editor is still a work in progress, but I'm looking forward to using it for my #DOSember game jam entry. Transcribing sheet music into this will be a lot easier than typing a bunch of numbers in a text file, like I did with my previous projects.

The work-in-progress "maketune" utility for CGALIB. The music is the start of a transcription of Schumann's Sketch in C minor for Organ or Pedal Piano.

Hehe I haven't gotten much info. It's usually along the lines of. " Oh it was written in C++ with blah compiler"

I love reaching out to the original programmers of the old games that I'm reverse engineering.
"Hey can you tell me why you did XYZ in the code you wrote over 30 years ago."
