I had tough times with graphics under DOS. BorlandC C had a limited graphics library called Turtle. So I used DOS mode 13H for fancy 320x200 display with 256 colors.

Later, somebody gave me the source code for some graphics libraries together with some drivers and I could use 800x600 resolution with millions of colors.

After that I went to Windows and Linux and graphics APIs quit being an issue.
