everyone already knows i'm a dog

the swift programming language is my fault to some degree. mostly here to see dogs, shitpost, fix old computers, and/or talk about math and weird computer programming things. for effortposts check the #longpost pinned tag. asks are open.

i wrote my own renderer for VGA B800 text! it's a huge lump of text+attributes that gets displayed when a VGA card is in a "text mode", usually 80x25 cells with 16 colors. many games from the DOS era stored a copy of this buffer with special art of text written in it, to be displayed when you exited the game.

so when you exit the sourceport, it displays the same B800 text that the game did when you exited to DOS in the original 1994 version of the game!
