No way to specify window resolution #8

If you call ROT.Display() it only accepts arguments in characters, ie. specifying that the console should be X by Y characters (of the supplied font).

This is annoying, for example in the case that you want to go full screen at some resolution or other then back-calculate text width and height resolution to make optimum use of the available screen space.

If you manually set screen mode before creating a ROT.Display() instance then ROT.Display() overwrites the screen mode. If you set afterwards, then you wind up with ROT.Display()'s character resolution not matching the screen mode.

Not a problem for me as I am working around this by avoiding the use of ROT.Display() entirely and using a tile-based approach... but seems a pretty serious issue if others look to use this to do anything more serious than a quick hack.

I agree, that should be easier. There used to be a scale option in Display, but I appear to have removed it by accident some time ago. I've added it back in 833bdcd

I'd like to add a setResolution, and pull the bits that would have to be re-called out of __init and into a separate function.
