Anybody?

"dos-like" is pretty vague, there were all kinds of games for dos, everything from alley cat to quake

Pic related is what I want. Maybe minus the GUI for simplicity.
Some first person thing and you press buttons.

I believe most MS-DOS games are written in assembly language on the bare metal (meaning they only go through DOS if they need to use some DOS-specific function like accessing a disk).

Yyyyeah but I only """""know"""" C and C++. I'm just referencing DOS as a graphics standpoint.

if you want to make a legit DOS game then learn C And use allegro, version 4 (version 5 is the latest version and doesn't support DOS anymore)

fair warning, there is a large learning curve to doing things this way, if you just want to get something up and running quick, use python and pygame

Great, thanks. As a whole, I'm interested in core concepts. What are 'graphics' and how are they drawn. What's a pixel, anyways?
That sort of thing.

Please leave.
