21:9 resolution #650

Closed emanuelect closed 3 months ago

emanuelect commented 3 months ago

I tried the game with my 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor, but I noticed that the aspect ratio gets stretched if I remove the black bands. Could you make the game compatible with ultrawide resolution? It would be great to be able to play Super Mario like this.

There is an experimental width variable in the main.lua you can play around with. One of the nitpicks allows you to set 4:3 aspect ratio but not an arbitrary number so you would have to edit the code to try it. Specifically line 153 (currently), setting it to about 35 produces a good 21:9 result for me.

Not certain this would ever be officially supported as it would probably break/unbalance a lot of levels but adding a nitpick for easier editing might be nice. Would need a lot of other changes made first though as the camera really doesn't know what to do with itself with a width this high.

Thank you very much, it worked. Playing it I understood what you meant about the camera: image image)

But even so it is great fun to play.

I solved it. I am not a programmer, but thanks to chatgpt after a whole day of trying I managed to fix the camera by editing the game.lua file.

This is already supported in nitpicks.json.

"windowWidth": 25,
"windowHeight": 15,

The camera issue can be fixed by adding the center camera nitpick "centerCamera": true,

This won't be supported in any more capacity than this due to the gameplay changes it causes.
