No support for OSX HiDPI Retina Display #192

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
If you run Gargoyle on a HiDPI Retina Display MacBook Pro, the text is not 
rendered sharply.

The new MBP is expensive, so there's a way to test HiDPI modes on a regular 
screen by enabling it via Xcode.

I've attached a screenshot.

It looks like HiDPI support for SDL is an area of active research.

For what it's worth, I changed a few lines in launchmac.m to add high 
resolution support for retina displays.  This is just proof-of-concept only; I 
didn't do much testing.  When the window is maximized on an iMac 5K display, 
the rendering is unfortunately so slow that it can't keep up with my typing.  
So practical use of high-resolution textures in Gargoyle may require some 
rendering optimizations.
