[Init File] - Grid Size, Fill Screen
« on: April 26, 2010, 07:37:13 pm »

Would it be that much of a problem for you toady to have a option in the Init file that ignores the grid options and detects the size of your screen and automatically fills the screen grid.

Not much of a big deal of course, but would be nice to have of course :)

Code: [Select]
[FILL_SCREEN_GRID:YES/NO]
[GRID:80:50]
[FULLGRID:80:50]

Baughn already implemented a better version of this (resize the grid by dragging the window corner or hitting Maximize, no init monkeying needed) in the 40d# branch, which Toady is now merging with the current version.

The default grid looks distorted, as if it's intended for widescreen. Does 40d# address that?

If you mean the vanilla windowed mode having tiles that are taller than they are wide (8x12), that's intentional -- part of the game's ASCII roots.  40d# doesn't change that, but you can of course swap out curses 8x12 for a 12x12 or 16x16 tileset.
