Version 0.28.181.39f introduced the ability to increase the grid from 80 tiles wide by 25 tiles high to as many as 200 by 200. The resolution and font are still a critical concern and must be calculated to match, to avoid strange results and crushed fonts.

To determine your final resolution:

  1. Determine your tile size. May be given, or ... may be specified as a screen size based on an 80:25 grid. simply divide the resolution by 80:25 respectively and you should get a tile size. example: curses_800x600.bmp translates as: 800 / 80 = 10 pixels wide, 600 / 25 = 24 pixels tall.
  2. Multiply by your proposed grid size to get your resolution: 10x24 * 128:25 = 1280x600
