Topic: Poll: What Screen Resolution do you use?

[Strategy]

In working on the main game engine, I am somewhat interested in what screen resolutions people use on their computers. Let your vote be heard. Or seen. Or whatever.

1680x1050 here, if possible, support widescreen.  It's becoming more popular as time goes by.  Hate seeing games that stretch and distort graphics to fit on my screen.

The intent is to have the main game map adjust to whatever screen size people use, so the bigger screen, the more you can see of the map at a time  (haven't quite figured out what to do with small maps yet, though...  ).

The only limitation at the moment is that the pop-up windows are fixed in their size - currently 1024 x 768 (lowest requirement). If and when I get time, this would be something that I'd look into working on so as to benefit users with higher resolution screens (or - if time enough passes before I'm done - simply increasing the minimum requirements  ).

I also use 1680 x 1050.  Been following the progress here for years, altho I haven't posted before.  I'm definitely intrigued by this project, and hope it comes to fruition before too long.  One thing I'm wondering--I would think, given the length of time you've been working on this, that developments in computers, OSs, etc., would often force you to go back and redo things you've already done.  Of course, I know next to nothing about programming, so perhaps this is not so.

Hi Hrothgar, welcome to the forums.

I'm hoping the project will come to fruition soon too. Unfortunately, I can't speak too much about the plans right now, and I don't want to promise anything, but it's getting closer.

It is my hope to have some clean attractive graphics for the game, but since there is no plans to have fancy graphics (3D or otherwise), there is really not much issue with this stuff getting outdated. On the contrary, it means that some of the simple things I've done years ago actually works better now (better scrolling, etc), because PCs are much faster.

All the redoing of stuff I've done (and there has been a deal - but mostly on the game engine), is my own fault.

1680 x 1050 for me.

Widescreen these days is a must I think.
