# NAAGTRO 2.0

In 2001 I wrote a simple intro for NAAG, the now-defunct New Age Assembler Group 

that I was a member of.

This is a reimplementation in C of the original NAAG intro. 22 years later

I really don't want to deal with Assembler anymore, but I still want to

play around with MS-DOS and old demoscene stuff, and to contribute to the retro

community.

The remake is mostly accurate with two exceptions: the scroller font and the light

trajectory are different. The scroller text is kept original.



    



## Installation instructions

To compile NAAGTRO, use the [DJGPP](https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp) 

cross compiler. Enter the build directory, and run the following commands. 

Replace the path to DJGPP with your own.

    naagtro > DJGPP_DIR=/home/mikolaj/local/opt/djgpp-12.1.0

    naagtro > source ${DJGPP_DIR}/setenv

    naagtro > mkdir build

    naagtro > cd build

    

    naagtro/build > cmake -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=${DJGPP_DIR}/i586-pc-msdosdjgpp/bin/gcc ..

    naagtro/build > make

## Q&A

1. I built naagtro.exe, what now?

    DJGPP generates code for protected mode so you need a DOS extender. Download

    [CWSDPMI](https://web.archive.org/web/20151217064947/http://homer.rice.edu/~sandmann/cwsdpmi/csdpmi7b.zip),

    unpack it and place CWSDPMI.exe in the build directory.

2. How do I run NAAGTRO in 2023 and beyond?

    If you don't have access to a DOS PC, use emulation, for example [DOSBox](http://www.dosbox.com/).

    Personally for development purposes I switch between DOSBox and VirtualBox 

    with Windows 98, and for running the final product I use a Pentium II system.

3. Why CMake, is that not overkill?

    No. CMake files are understood by IDEs, for example my personal favorite QtCreator.
