    I’m assuming “DOS feel” means there’s no dynamic linker so the implementation has to be contained in header files?

  • Writing bindings to `dos-like` for Rust: some lessons learned
    5 projects | dev.to | 15 Mar 2022
    So when I had some spare time the past weekend, I decided to do something a bit different: bring to Rust an existing framework that lets you write applications which look like they are DOS applications. dos-like, made by Mattias Gustavsson, is like a small engine for writing modern applications with the look & feel of MS-DOS programs. So basically, when using this framework, we end up with applications that run on modern hardware and operating systems all the same, but with deliberate video effects and audio that bring us back to that era, including large pixels, CRT distortion, text and graphics video modes, and synthesized (Sound Blaster 16) or MIDI (Sound Blaster AWE32) music. It was written in C, mostly as a single file with some other statically linked dependencies. The project also comprises a few fun examples, such as a proof-of-concept FPS inspired by Wolfenstein 3D, a point-and-click adventure, a voxel renderer, and even a music tracker.
