Screen size poll

Jan 22, 2004 15:29 Screen size poll
Curious of what everyone's resolution is when they play winbolo

Also, what size do you play in?

Normal sux. It's like trying to use a gameboy from 4 feet away.

You should be able to use the fullscreen button. It'd be perfect then. Double is just a little small for my screen and Quadruple is 4 times too big.

I use normal ... I used it on 800x600, on 1024x768, and on 1280x1024 .... I think double looks lame ....

i use normal cuz thats how i was used to it on mac..........the graphics look so much better in normal :P

Normal is about 6" by 8" on my 17" monitor, which sux. A tiny little game with a big useless border. Double fills the whole 17" and I can see everything much better although yes, it does look a little more drab. I don't know who has a system that could accommodate the quad...the outdoor TV on Times Square, maybe? Incidentally, why IS the full screen button grayed out?

what would be nice is full screen mode, with much more detailed pixelation of graphics. and everything smaller is scaled down from that.

this would allow for some pretty good looking skins

vector images would fix that problem ... but would also be a major performance hit on the system running it due to all the onthefly sprite drawing.

I play on a 3x5 metre superscreen in double quad mode.
I also use surround sound with headphones and a full servo controlled
body suit. My backside is still sore from a 8x2 open game
yesterday. Two weeks ago the fire brigade were called by the
neighbours and I have started to notice cracks in the end wall
of the house.

I play with normal. I find that I cant read the newswire playing anything else. Also, you can only see such a small part of the map that I feel vulnerable to an enemy tank approaching. Plus, on my monitor, anything other than normal and you cant use all the functions to build etc etc unless you move the window up and down. It would be nice to have a full screen but having the tank and everything the same size as it would be normal. You would be able to see such a huge piece of the map you would have more awareness without having to use pillview. Because obviously sometimes you don't have pills in areas that you need eyes. But that is a good question, why is the maximize screen greyed out?

I always use normal. If I try to use anything larger, it will cause the game to crash. Come to think of it, it crashes anyway!

u still see the same size of screen right?..like if u have it on normal is the view of the map bigger , smaller, or the same size..yes dumb question but u know...im wonderin.
