When writing text to the screen, a BIOS color attribute is used to designate the color to write the text in. For example, to print a white character with a black background, a color attribute of 0F hex would be used. The high four bits are set to 0000 bin, representing the background color, black.
The method has become increasingly important as more complex games are designed for machines with few buttons (keyboard-less consoles). Bennet Ring commented (in 2006) that "Context-sensitive is the new lens flare". [5]
DPI and CPI are the same values that refer to the mouse's sensitivity. DPI is a misnomer used in the gaming world, and many manufacturers use it to refer to CPI, counts per inch. [87] Some advanced mice from gaming manufacturers also allow users to adjust the weight of the mouse by adding or subtracting weights to allow for easier control. [88]
Armoury Crate also acts as a game launcher, automatically compiling the user's game library from third-party launchers like Steam and Epic Games Store. [16] Although Windows 11 improved touchscreen support, some interactions can only be done using a mouse cursor. Due to this, Armoury Crate lets users emulate a mouse using the left joystick. [17]
Set text-mode cursor shape AH=01h CH = Scan Row Start, CL = Scan Row End Normally a character cell has 8 scan lines, 0–7. So, CX=0607h is a normal underline cursor, CX=0007h is a full-block cursor. If bit 5 of CH is set, that often means "Hide cursor". So CX=2607h is an invisible cursor. Some video cards have 16 scan lines, 00h-0Fh.
A sequel called Cursor*10 2nd Session was subsequently released. [4] A greatly updated version of the game ported over to PlayStation Portable platform called (in Japanese) Onore no Shinzuru Michi wo Yuke developed by Silicon Studio was released in Japan by publishers From Software. [5]
One of the most common problems with programming games that use isometric (or more likely dimetric) projections is the ability to map between events that happen on the 2d plane of the screen and the actual location in the isometric space, called world space. A common example is picking the tile that lies right under the cursor when a user clicks.
Some versions of macOS (such as OS X Lion) display a black screen of death instead of a kernel panic in the event of a hardware or software failure. This is usually pointed to a graphics card failure or a sleep/wake issue. [9]
