expand resolution to full screen

Ideas for Game Editor evolution.

expand resolution to full screen

Postby DollMaster » Tue Nov 08, 2011 10:39 pm

Can there be a way to make a lower resolution game expand to fit the current resolution? Emulators currently do this. They expand the screen to fit. Theres the option of stretching to fill the screen, or fit a normal proportional high res. Some find it easier to draw sprites and do the math at the lower resolutions...but they appear small when a system is set to really high resolutions.

My incomplete games are drawn at really low res, so that they look really old school. I tried them out on a higher res computer and game window is confined to a small 320x200 space in the middle of the screen.=(

Couldn't you just scale your sprites up?

DollMaster:
The new game editor supports scaling, if you write an advanced script, you may be able to do this.
