Bug#469328: Support 5:3 aspect ratio
Package: torus-trooper Version: 0.22.dfsg1-2 Severity: wishlist I was disappointed to find that running Torus Trooper on my new eeePC (which has an 800x480 pixel screen) results in unused space on each side of the full-screen window. I guess that currently Torus Trooper is hard-coded to a 4:3 aspect ratio, whereas my screen is 5:3. I wish Torus Trooper supported a 5:3 aspect ratio on 5:3 screens (and more generally, supported arbitrary aspect ratios). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages torus-trooper depends on: ii libbulletml0d1 0.0.6-2 C++ library to handle BulletML eas ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc11:4.3-20080202-1 GCC support library ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl 7.0.2-4 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglu1-mesa [libglu1] 7.0.2-4 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii libsdl-mixer1.21.2.8-3 mixer library for Simple DirectMed ii libsdl1.2debian1.2.13-2 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii torus-trooper-data 0.22.dfsg1-2 speeding ship sailing through barr ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime torus-trooper recommends no packages. -- no debconf information ___ Pkg-games-devel mailing list Pkg-games-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-devel

[...] -window Launch the game in a window. [...] so torus-trooper is not limited to a special resolution, you simply can't chose/change inside torus-trooper. when running in windowed mode, you can resize the window freely. tell me if this helped you out, so i can close this bug. cheers - fuddl signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Pkg-games-devel mailing list Pkg-games-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-devel

You're right, the original game is designed for 4:3 and, even though it supports resizing, the visual result is suboptimal. The big question is how to change the appearance without changing the game itself. Thanks for the bug report, Miry __ ¿Con Mascota por primera vez? Sé un mejor Amigo. Entra en Yahoo!

Upon further investigation, I find that torus-trooper uses 800x480 is told to (by -res), and if I tell my window manager to resize the window. The real cause of the problem is that torus-trooper claims to be a transient window (i.e. a popup dialog, not an application window): WM_TRANSIENT_FOR(WINDOW): window id # 0x0 My window manager makes normal windows full-screen, but gives transient windows the size they request -- in torus-trooper's case, this is apparently 640x480 (unless overridden by -res). So I think the it's wrong for torus-trooper to claim to be a transient window. I've retitled the bug accordingly.

Well, it seemed to me the easiest would be to just have the bits on the sides black on a widescreen, the same as if you watch a 4:3 TV show on a widescreen. signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Pkg-games-devel mailing list Pkg-games-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-devel

Looking at `aptitude search ~i~Dlibsdl1.2debian`, I tested torus-trooper, foobillard, tumiki-fighters and xmoto.
