How do you display pictures?

[adoado]

Hello, I'm Adrian and I am new to assembly. I was wondering how to display actual pictures on the screen, like bmp or jpg. Do I need something to do this? This should not be dependant on Windows, as I wish to run the program outside of Windows. Sorry, I dont know very much about this yet...  :P

Thanks, Adrian
P.S. A code example would be good if anyone has one  :bg

For a fresh start, have a look at Iczelion's Win32asm tutorial set :

adoado,

This should not be dependant on Windows, as I wish to run the program outside of Windows.

You will also need to use another assembler as Microsoft's is for Windows, only.  Pelle's assembler might be a good choice, NASM32, also.  Either way, this job might be a bit ambitious for most.  Good luck.

The forum 'Search' and your favorite seach engine will answer many questions before we can and save you time.    :dance:

Are you referring to the Wallpaper on the Desktop of Windows?  Then making this setting from a MASM program?

Thanks!  :P

And I've heard of TASM - maybe that would work, and Ill check out the links.

Thanks, and I'll reply soon

These links use provide scripts that use includes, and I think those belong to Windows. When I compile the script, are those includes compiled into one or does the compiled assembly code call the includes during "runtime"?

Thanks, Ado

I think those belong to Windows.

Not necessarily and include files generally are just a list of procedures because procedures need to be declared before they can be invoked.  This is used as a quick and dirty method of error checking.

Assemble the program and test it, you might surprise yourself.  :U
