DOS GUI - Example Apps

• ACS.exe
• BLOCKED.exe
• FONTER.exe
• LEVEL.exe

ACS.exe

Lets you move a dorky guy around a side-view level. Uses the arrow keys on the numeric keypad. Since I'm checking DOS keycodes, you have to use the keypad with num-lock off, not the stand-alone arrow keys. "Home" picks up the current block; unfortunately you can also pick up ladders.

I forgot what "ACS" stands for, though it's not "Adventure Construction Set."
