The making of  Alamuna AlAraby:

Alamuna AlAraby was started only for the sake of  learning C. Later on, PC World M/E announced for its second annual programming contest for designing an Arabic tutor. The program uses the Borland BGI graphics library and it runs on the EGA 640x350x16 resolution. Since DOS does not support Arabic in any way, I had to write routines for displaying the Arabic text. You are asked not to judge this program using today's standards! It was written about a decade ago.

Awards

1994, Alamuna AlAraby won the first prize of the 2nd annual programming contest held by PC World M/E.
