[Super-tux-devel] 800x600 resolution

[Ricardo C. <ri...@ae...>]

Hey there,

 It was already suggested by Ingo a resolution change to 800x600. In fact, IMO 
the 640x480 is too small and looks really bad when using fullscreen 
(especially in my monitor that uses a 1280x1024 resolution).

 If you agree, we could either add rows to levels or/and resize images. I 
would prefer this last solution and that would mean a change from 32x32 
images into 40x40 pixels. A resize without interpolation and then polishment 
should work just fine...

 Tobias already discussed the hypotheses of using SVG graphics... IMO, these 
graphics have two problems:
- technically, SDL_svg is yet in a very immature stage;
- for artists, SVG tools are also immature, especially Linux ones.
 Besides, I don't think it applies very well into games. I know there are some 
advantages, like the power of allowing resizing in real-time, but don't 
forget that OpenGL has support for this stuff. Futhermore, expect SVG 
real-time resizing to be slow as hell or at least not smooth.

 So, what do you think?

 For the record, this is only plans for mid-future, after the 0.1.x featuring 
the level editor.
