cliptut.txt
Clipping tutorial. This tutorial is very handy to programmers that already know a bit about graphics and want to make something like a pixel-by-pixel scrolling engine. Clipping is a necessary part.

doomtechnique.htm
Technically inaccurate (DOOM doesn't actually use the technique described here), but does give a possible approach to rendering a DOOM-type scene using raycasting. A lot of theory with very little code. This is for inspiration only.

fire.txt
How to code your own fire routines. This is a short tutorial written for mode 13h on making a fire routine. It won't show you HOW to make one, but it will put you on the right track. It's nice because it doesn't just give you the code, you still have to program the routine.

flicker.txt
A short tutorial I wrote a long time ago on the well-known method for reducing flicker in some programs. This may or may not be the most effective method for you, but you should at least read up on it.

getput13.bas
An excellent tutorial on using GET and PUT for your graphics in QB. By Andrew L. Ayers, the author of the (now hardly-used) BLAST! library. This should be required reading for newbies wanting to get into graphics. It give's a good overview on how the functions work as well as the arrays and such that go hand in hand with them.

3dinqb.htm
BlackBird's 3D Tutorial. This is a nice tutorial for beginners, and covers the basics of creating 3D objects. The tutorial covers how to create sets of points in 3D, and then draw them on the screen in 2D, as well as how to do 3D rotations. The 3D points explanation was good, and the sample code was well done. The faces explanation could have used a bit more work, but overall, the tutorial is well done and informative.

scroll.txt
A nice long scrolling tutorial by Aaron Severn. This is a nice detailed tutorial on just what a pixel scrolling engine is, and how it works. Includes code, although I wouldn't recommended for newbies to just copy the code, it's example code, therefore it is slow and not very good, but it will set you on the right track.
