Hey, so this isn't an issue.

What are you trying to do with the goldbox games? I'd love to be a part of it.

I want to show a title screen in EGA mode in a winforms Form.
I was thinking that in the Engine project to create a IDisplay that takes certain commands such as DrawPicture, DrawString and when it is ready to show an update that it would fire an updated event. I also figured that it would be helpful say when drawing the TitleScreen that you would Suspend the Display tell it the x number of commands to show build the display as needed then resume and it would fire the update event. From what I've been reading the best bet is to have a byte[] that gets manipulated by the Draw commands then have it update the System.Drawing.Bitmap (if it isn't added by reference already) Then fire the Updated event. I'm not sure what the best way to support other modes (such as CGA or other) so for now just make a interface for the display.

Copy the code from coab and hardcode a window to show the first image in whatever dax file has the title.

Text should be able to be added to the display at a x,y coordinate (based on rows/columns and not pixels) and with a specific color (based on basic EGA/CGA colors... I think in COAB there were 15 colors)

Need to have a cake script that has two tasks, one to build the project, and another to copy the binaries and data files to a deploy folder. The Deploy folder will just be a solution level folder that gets recreated each time
