Game of the Week Winner
23rd March, 2010 at 08:43:14 -

Hello again people !
Im currently working on : http://www.create-games.com/project.asp?view=main&id=1803
and it´s running in 640*480 fullscreen and I think it works great.

But just the other week I got myself a widescreen monitor and it still seemed nice (It was like fullscreen but with letterbox on the left and right side of the screen)
Just until the other day when everything was resized to fit the screen, It all looks so wide and ugly and I have no idéa what caused it.

I looked around here on the forums but could'nt find anything.
So my question is if there is a way to bring back the letterbox ?
The game looks so damn ugly right now
Thanks in advance

LCD Screens are not friendly to 2d games.

You probably hit auto adjust on your monitor (or the monitor auto adjusted itself).

I don't believe there is any way to combat your problem without manual input if you are using resize to fit screen. To be quite honest running the game in its native resolution is usually much better looking and much faster. 640x480 change resolution with resize unticked.



If you are looking for the manual fix then Play with your monitor settings (the buttons on the front/sides - not the computer display settings) and set your aspect ratio to 4:3.

It's probably just your video settings. No games that I play get stretched like that.


"LCD Screens are not friendly to 2d games."

No doubt, LCD sucks for low res games - bring back CRT!
