Walls surround the mission level and separate rooms and corridors from one another. They are impassable and block line of sight. Occasionally a large room will have a single pillar which is tactically useful. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/261/star-cadre-combat-class #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Two big attacks against us in January push us down into 6th place. We have little in the way of gold, but are still a respectable force. Let's attack the 5th place barony to regain some land. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/64/the-anarchic-kingdom #anarchickingdom #ibmpc #msdos #cga
@billgoats reminds me of #MSDOS...
Basic Pascal – logotypes for beginning 2025

The origins of 86-DOS aka QDOS, the ancestor of MS-DOS. Back then there were surprisingly few 8086 boards small software houses and enthusiasts could develop and test their code with.
Most of the location is open floor. Units can move and see across this without obstruction, at a cost of 2 action points (or 3 action points on the diagonal). http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/261/star-cadre-combat-class #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Our barony is nestled between the mountains and the sea. All the baronies are the same on the first turn, so our first attack will be arbitrary: the De La Poles have neither mountain nor sea, so they are the most foreign to us! http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/64/the-anarchic-kingdom #anarchickingdom #ibmpc #msdos #cga
The terrain for The Polar Expedition is different, as you'd expect. Red rocky deserts give way to white snowscapes. The units are different too: many have skis, and the roles of unit construction and resource gathering are divided between two different units. #barrenplanet #ibmpc #msdos #cga
If you know Deluxe Paint ("DPaint") for the Amiga (and MS-DOS), you know that it's one of the best pixel editors ever.
@PyDPainter is a free, faithful DPaint resurrection, and the latest release includes a macOS beta version…
Thinker is a bare bones robot without any special attachments nor a ROM. But it makes up for that in having the most RAM available. With the right actions available, it can be very productive in a turn. #teamdroid #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Happy 2nd birthday to #barrenplanet! My biggest game so far was released on this day in 2023. So far it has two expansions, and more are still sitting in my brain. You can download the game and its expansions from https://cyningstan.itch.io/barren-planet. The game is free, but donations via Itch are welcome! #ibmpc #msdos #cga
This Q in Pym's Daily Word Square Puzzle for today is a gift. There aren't many common words that would fit on that row or column. You can try to solve today's puzzle at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/295/pyms-daily-word-square-puzzle #pym #ibmpc #msdos #cga
After some delay I did an update of #lib16 (a tiny helper library for #OpenWatcom 16-bit DOS programs).
https://github.com/SuperIlu/lib16
This time I added #Lua to the mix (example prj04). You can now write graphical scripts using Lua on #MSDOS. I also included the regular lua.exe and luac.exe binaries. This is compiled for i386/387 upwards...
Earlier this week, 4am Programming released a new game for MS-DOS: 99 Things. This is an item matching game with various levels of difficult. For #ibmpc with #cga graphics running #msdos, download it from https://4am.org/99/
Star Cadre's mission locations are modelled on typical minimalist sci-fi bases. There's a single entrance/exit, and various rooms and corridors are linked by automatic doors. The layout is different each time you play. Explore more at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/261/star-cadre-combat-class #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga

It's time for another playthrough of The Anarchic Kingdom. Whenever I play for stream or social media I do poorly, my first place finishes only happen when nobody can see. Can I change this?
