NOSTALGIA - A few projects from the beginningThese are a bunch of my very first programming projects,from college days. Most of which still works. The DOS programs which uses Borland Graphics Interface ( BGI ) still work on the latest Windows. The UNIX projects still builds and runs on Linux with minor Makefile changes.
Its fun to go through and see the ugly coding styles of my early programming days.
1. INSPIRE (1993)A simple paint program for DOS written in C using BGI ( Borland Graphics Interface ) The exe still runs on windows, I have not rebuilt the source recently.
Here is a zip of the source, the BGI object files and the exe. inspire.zip [ sample source file newinsp3.cpp ] 2. MOKSHA (1994)Financial accounting for DOS written in C using BGI ( Borland Graphics Interface ) for the GUI. The program does weekly trial balancing for stock brokers. Created with two of my class mates, with me doing all of the GUI. The exe still runs on windows, I have not rebuilt the source recently.
Here is a zip of the source, the BGI object files and the exe. noksha.zip [ sample source file moksha.cpp ] 3. XFLIGHT (1995)This was part of my course project at one of the government labs, doing aeronautical simulations. An X/Motif utility for controlling/monitoring the real time flight parameters at the flight simulation facility. This still builds and runs on Unix, I have tested it on Linux, HP-UX, IRIX.

REALITY (1995)This was also part of my course project at the aeronautical lab. This was a fly through , terrain following visual simulation application using IRIS Performer API. The visual database was created using MultiGen. This still builds and runs on SGI IRIX where the Performer API is available.
Here is a tar zip of the source and the 3D model in flt format. reality.tar.gz [ sample source file reality.c ] |
