For me the last few weeks I have been looking at my old code and have gained a renewed interest in DOS programming, for me Vga coding with soundblaster audio and mouse and keyboard is a great combination. As a added bonus it works on (all desktops, android, raspberry pi, and even Haiku. It's definitely code once release everywhere, I have a basic engine down now just need to do the image loaders, audio and mouse but it's working fast ~30fps which is nice for fullscreen rendering 😀
Have a look on edzup's YouTube page for demonstrations of the engine 😀
