Ask Hook -- 11:24 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Voodoo Extreme has slapped up a new issue of "Ask (Brian) Hook". Today, Brian answers questions on games driving hardware advancement or vice versa and a more technical question about color palettes in more recent games. May need a translator for that last one.

The Master comments: Actually-I understood that color one quite clearly. Course, I've been reading Michael Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book, which has about a million times more detail on VGAs, DACs, and color pallettes than you really need to know :-)

J.t.Qbe comments: Great book! Originally I bought it because it has "The Zen of Assembly Language" on the CD--priceless stuff. Plus it was a remainder book for $6. Abrash wrote some great stuff for Dr. Dobbs Journal in the late 80s--now there's a programming wizard. . .
