This is what Nexuiz would have looked like in 1981, being a CGA graphics demo.

Anyone want to implement that sort of rendering? ;)
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

Please do it.

It's the only way I will be able to run the next version.

Although different from what DP would do... yes, it actually handles that case. And then displays "spf"...

There already is a graphics mode (in dp cvs) that looks slightly better than CGA and is probably just as fast :D

actually a GLSL "CGA" shader would be a fun novelty feature, maybe an EGA mode too :)

Hehe, CGA-style rendering only supported on modern cards... I like that idea... BTW, does anyone recognize this:

That's a lot of dithering!

I doubt you would get any performance improvement out of it as the CPU will still be loaded with everything else. The only reason would be for fun and then you really do need to think about other things you could be doing instead...
