Re: [B2-devel] Rudimentary port to SDL2

Thanks for sharing this! This will be a superb work to renovate BII.

I don’t mean to hijack your thread. But since you touch SDL2 topic, I wonder how to make it looks nicer in hi-res monitor. Even in 2K monitor nowadays, I think the font size and game screen is way too small.

I know that mini Mac has zoom 2X feature. My educated guess is that the zoom implement this way — If there is a pixel like [x, y, RGB(r,g,b)], then zoom 2 X is to draw a 2X2 matrix:

[x, y, RGB(r,g,b)],     [x+1, y, RGB(r,g,b)]
[x, y+1, RGB(r,g,b)], [x+1, y+1, RGB(r,g,b)]

I can imagine in some cases it won’t looks good. Thus, we need to smooth it with anti-aliasing. But this is beyond my expertise. 

If anyone has insight to solve this problem in hi-res, please let me know.

thanks,
Ricky
