I know I should go to those forums. But is there anyone here who knows what resolutions I can make the tiles? I don't want them to be extra blurry if I zoom in.

Can can make the tiles any resolution.
Basically when you set your custom font, you need to include the dimensions of the tileset in terms on tiles, and it figures out how large each tile is from that.

Theoretically, you can make 1x1 tilesets for a pixel screen xD
Of course, if you do that there's no real reason to use libtcod other than the nifty utilities it has. O_o

Although if you want a real time game using libtcod with a 1*1 size tileset would be ill advised. Libtcod isn't the fastest thing in the universe when it comes to these things, normally that isn't an issue, but it won't work well in extremes.

Oh, yes xD Putting pixels is already slow, but libtcod asds another layer to go through.

So another thing I was wondering is if I make the resolution larger will it just look larger and larger... for bigger resolutions? Or will it be squished down and look less blurry and blocky. Like how 3d games can do that without the textures taking larger and larger areas. Also if that is some kind of effect that allows 3d games to do that. What is it called and can I use it with libtcod/2d games.
