I assume the resolution is fixed? I don't see anything in the Options or the config file for changing the resolution.

And why can't we change in 1280 x 1024 ?
It's a good way to see more things on a screen and usually it's nicer.

Most of the game today you can change resolution ... Is it a technical problem or a choice from you (editor) to fix the resolution ?

Thanks for the response.

Eric.

If we work with fixed buffer sizes we can optimize the graphics code so that they run much faster than with dynamic width buffers. This is not as important an issue as it once was, when I wrote our lowest layers of graphics code, as machines have become so fast and available memory so large that a few extra MB for a scratch buffer and a few extra hundred instructions aren't a big deal to most machines anymore; so we may look into dynamic screen resolutions.

One thing I'd really like to do is support multiple monitors. This is becoming much more popular and would increase viewing size quite a bit.
