jep if i would do a game i`ll choose SDL or something else but it`s only
a theoretical question, is it possible to run 13h mode using ruby and if
it is for example how would you draw a pixel becouse i have no idea how
to do it ?
thx

well ruby doesn't allow direct system calls or interupts so you'll have
to write c extension, theoretically it's possible.

try reading some assembler faq, then c faq for how to inline assembler
in c (there's no standard, every compiler have it's own macro) then read
how to include c in ruby (i suggest rubyinline)

You can develop your own library to draw a pixel with C, and after
create a binding "your lib C" <=> Ruby with the Ruby's API .

If you really want to do this (and I suspect that you don't), you could
write a C extension for allegro:

To get a real mode 13h, you'll have to run Ruby built with djgpp.
