  3. Observe the screen is clipped as shown.

I can't be sure of the cause until I update libtcod, and I need to resolve #12 to do that.

I had 800x600 for window and full screen it kind of worked. Then Incursion encountered an invalid glyph (-35 IIRC) and I had to reboot to get out of it. I couldn't switch windows. Was running in debugger but couldn't get back to VS.

I primarily suspect that Incursion's libtcod interface code is the cause, but older versions of libtcod were also incredibly buggy. When #22 is done I can immediately look into this. I can use libtcod's newer API and newer C++ standards to make the interface much more safe.

The last release was with libtcod 1.6.0 but I couldn't find binaries for that. Otherwise we'd probably be able to rerelease at the same level of stability as the last official release, until any migration to new libtcod.

The last major breaking change was when libtcod 1.6.0 switched to SDL2. Things were far more stable after that so a migration to libtcod 1.24.0 will be trivial. Many bugs were fixed since 1.6.0 and 1.7.0.
