Thanks for the advice. I've been playing around with it, and it seems that while the images are displaying at the correct resolution, the mouse pointer isn't representing it. My guess would be that the image has been squashed to fit the wide aspect, but this has thrown off the mouse pointer somehow ...

Btw, could I see the OpenScreen() part of your H3x source? I can't figure out why that screen opens fine and mine won't. :?

I'm running XP home. I've just tried your game, which is working fine, nothing's running off the side of the screen. Whatever you did there works for me, apparently!

Although according to wikipedia:
"1440×900 resolution displays have also been found labeled as WXGA; however, the correct label is actually WSXGA or WXGA+."

It's the 17" Wide XGA integrated into my laptop. And I'm afraid you've lost me with focus - thereafter my knowledge withers. :D

Thanks guys - I used ExamineScreenModes() as you suggested, and got a list of all the supported resolutions, which includes my desktop resolution of 1440x900x32 @ 60Hz. However, this problem is happening on 1440x900, 800x600, 1024x768 and even that most lowly of resolutions, 640x400. Is there any ...

Screen at incorrect resolution?

When opening a screen like this (or 1024x768):

OpenScreen(1440, 900, 32, "Screen")

I noticed that rendered objects weren't showing up properly, so I used this to find out what was going on:

a = MouseX()
b = MouseY()
StartDrawing(ScreenOutput())
DrawText(0, 0, "X = "+Str(a))
DrawText(80, 80, "Y ...

Can anyone shed a little light on this?

Below is a fragment of code from a really simple program that moves a sprite across the screen, which is sped up by pressing the right shift key. What's driving me nuts is the fact that, while this works fine for all combinations of up (W), down (S) and left (A), it doesn't work at all for right (D ...

*Avi cutscene

Hi again,

Just about to make a *avi format video cut scene and am using adobe premiere 6.0 and Photoshop 7. I need an effect that will make it appear that the viewer is flying through diffused clouds (much like Reeves does at the beginning of the second matrix movie, if you've seen it) that the ...

Anyone know?

Hey guys,

Just looking for some editing for my games cut scenes. What I would like to do is capture some "real life" video and save it to an *avi or similar format.

And now the question. :D

Does anyone know of any video editing software that I could use to "green screen" i.e., isolate an area ...

Simple-ish question

Hi all,

Just two simple ish-questions-

Does PB support Anti-Aliasing?

And a random question to put out there- If macromedia flash is a vector graphic plug in, how come it can render bitmap pictures also?

Thanks,

Pete
