- DrAngband 2.9.2+ 50-line mode
- -----------------------------
-
- This textfile gives a quick guide to enabling 50-line mode
- in ports of DrAngband. Here is how it should be done:
-
- 1. Prior to the execution of init_xxx() (in the relevent
- main-xxx.c file) a global variable, screen_y will be
- set to either 25 (for default 80*25 mode) or some other
- value like 50 (for 80*50).
-
- 2. When setting the screen mode if:
- screen_y = 25: Default mode requested. Set the screen
- to 80*25.
-
- screen_y > 25: Large screen requested. The actual size
- requested does not have to be given, as long as screen_y
- is updated to reflect the new setting (this is VERY
- important). It works fine with anything from 25 - 68.
- 68+ and the full dungeon map is displayed vertically on
- one screen.
-
- 3. That's all! Main.c will calculate screen geometry for the
- given mode and everything will run nicely :-)
-
- 4. Oh yeah, test big screen mode with: angband -y
- Or "angband -yXX" for any screen of >= 25.
- Eg. "angband -y43" for a 43 line display.
-
- Versions currently supporting big screens:
-
- DOS,
- OS/2,
- Unix/Curses (GCU)
- Unix/X11.
-
- NOTE: As of version 2.9.4, screen_x may also be greater than
- normal. Only the X11 and GCU port supports this at the moment.
- (Set with -x switch).
