Well, some programs I made since 1994, when I first had a computer at home, till 1998, when I met the demoscene and everything changed (very hopefully). Most of this programs still run even in Windows 2000. Anyway, this section is more a museum rather than a usefull repositori of software. Enjoy it anyway.










QBasic, done in 1994. It calculater the number primes for a specified interval. Of course, no clever algorith was used; just brute force instead. I had enought fun learning to fake shadows on text mode, so I was not interested at all on the primer calulation algorith.

Simon game, made in QBasic in 1994. One of my first programming with real graphics. You cannot really play with it nowadays even if it works on Windows 2000, just beacuse the timing was made for a 386... You have the code, so you can try to fix it :)

First attempt to do a user-oriented application. It was a drawing program using ASCII characters. Quite nice, it was able to correctly choose the best text character depending on the tryectory of the pointer. Lot of menus to copy and paste blocks of graphics, and menus to select colors, save to disk and so on.

Get it here. You will need the QBasic interpreter that you can get here.





My most complex creation at that time (1995). Done in Qbasic, made to mimic the PBrush of Windows 95 beta version. A complex logic for the user interface. My first graphics algorithms to draw stars and polygons, and also my first realtime effect for the screensaver of the applicacion.

Done in 1998, this first C application was my last program I made before I knew about the demoscene. When I made it I released the code for my friends at class, and ... well, there was some issues with a proffesor that didn't like some unfortunate comments I added to the code.

You can download it (code included) here. You will need the QBasic interpreter that you can get here.
