(2) :: I have used some seriously outdated BGI graphics, how can i use the new graphics?

(3) :: Since this is a Dos program, how can I make it run in Vista and 7, without using DosBox? A work around, or conversion will do.

Some Instructions for the Game: "Standard W-A-S-D, X for retreating, O for shields, P for pause. Use difficulty 10 or pro mode for a challenge. Extract the .zip file and play!"

Hello there! It's great to hear that you have created a game and are looking for ways to improve it. I can offer some suggestions to help make your game better.

Firstly, the flickering issue could be due to the outdated BGI graphics you mentioned. I would suggest using newer graphics libraries such as OpenGL or DirectX to improve the visual quality and reduce the flickering. These libraries are widely used and supported, and there are plenty of tutorials and resources available online to help you get started.

Secondly, to make your game more appealing and engaging, you could consider adding more levels or challenges to keep the players interested. You could also add different modes or difficulty levels to cater to different types of players.

Additionally, you could also think about adding sound effects and background music to enhance the overall gaming experience. This can be easily done using libraries like OpenAL or FMOD.

As for making your game compatible with newer operating systems like Vista and 7, you could try converting it into a Windows application using a development environment like Visual Studio. This will allow your game to run without the need for DosBox or any other workarounds.

Lastly, I would suggest seeking feedback from players and incorporating their suggestions and ideas to further improve your game. This will not only help make your game better but also make it more enjoyable for the players.

I hope these suggestions will help you in making your game even better. Good luck!
