How up to date is the Watcom compiler? Can it do C99 or is it too old for that? Do you know if there's a C compiler that can do up to C11 and can target DOS?

[@AntonioOliveira68]

Merry XMAS!

I have a TekRam P233 MMX motherboard, and I am hoping v1.4 fixes the format a: or b: /u bug.

[@rbtmdl]

I was going to ask why not read from /dev/urandom then I was like, oh yeah, dos.

Would be possible to animate with a loop to clear the screen and re render it , every half a second ?

[@freedosproject]

Sure you could! I think the easiest way to do that is to move the "tree rendering" code to a function (draw_tree) and then loop to that from the main() function as frequently as you'd like.

[@brendanstone3073]

Could you post a link to an executable?

[@freedosproject]

Sure thing! I just posted the code on my GitHub. Here's a link that also includes the EXE programs. This has both the Christmas Tree and Fireplace programs: github.com/freedosproject/christmas2024/releases/tag/v2024

@@freedosproject This is great! Maybe I will show it to you running later.
