If I was you, I'd try configuring Visual Studio Code to compile using e.g. Watcom and then run the resulting executable using Dosbox. I've done the same for nasm+dosbox and works great. Quick googling I found this template to do at least the Watcom part in VSCode:

So, you will make MS-DOS demos?
Well, good luck!

Ty @pestis, this looks really cool! :)

@T.M.D, haha, yes i want to do just for fun, some people said about the competitiveness of DOS people... :p

then bring it on! :D

but be aware, that DOS is just an OS, mostly used because of lowlevel hardware access , that can be run on more or less every x86 systems since the eighties ... the more power the running system has, the more is espected to be shown, so for example sizecoding makes heavy use of the fancy cpu/fpu capabilities of modern systems .. at least you'll have to decide, what "platforms" (xt, at, oldschool, mid or highpower) you want to target, since everything is theoretically possible with DOS on modern platforms - showing copper bars on an i9-12900 powered system could lead to some disappointments ;) .. so it's not bad to focus on closed platforms with clear specifications ...

there are some fantastic beginner coding tutorials out there. i think some in assembly party archives ,and also from revision too

@Ty Asato, ty for warning me that... I was going to do on DosBox and see how much DosBox could handle, but i think i need to be more specific... :)

I already did some colorful stuff, but it is lame and there is a lot to go yet...

And ty @Canopy, in fact i think one used linked a website of the Scene with some source codes... <3

DOSBox has cycle settings that lead to different perfomance ...

I can recommend MSVC for DOS as C compiler or FASM as cross platform assembler .. and for debugging Turbo Debugger ..

... and if you want a more system accurate virtual machine for x86 PCs, try PCem

ok. I was talking about actual video seminars :)
