Meaning maybe I can get a cameo in a Mario game, or that Mario has to build slave shields to protect the sentients from the OTHER Terrible Secret of Space?
Wow. That's extremely impressive. And such a simple (to implement) algorithm! Thanks for pointing that out.
I wonder if they could retrofit their blit method to send all rendering to an arbitarily scaled window, and scale the cursor input accordingly as well. The Scale2x algorithm itself is free for use (bless the author's heart), so...yeah.
Hell, if I had a virtual DirectX target and a virtual DirectInput mouse, Blizzard wouldn't even have to be involved at all. Wonder if that's what Wine does?
Starcraft used fixed-sized sprites, so a resolution change would require either some scaling (which would likely look nasty at current resolutions) or additional graphics sets.
Actually revealing more of the battlefield would give a tactical advantage to the player with more money in his hardware.
I picked up openSuse 10.3 the other day, which also ships with Compiz Fusion. After using their (amazingly wildly easy) nVidia driver installer (point-click-restart X-done) and enabling desktop effects, I got a beautiful white cube.
Everything up to that point had been sailing smoother than ever I've encountered with a Linux distro, so I was hoping it'd all Just Work. It didn't. No, I didn't go rooting through FAQs and mailing lists to find out why, I just booted back into Gentoo.
Seems close though. So close.
Incidentally, a Vista install on the same computer choked to death on my onboard flash card reader. I _did_ go rooting through FAQs and mailing lists for that, and I think I probably would have arrived at some Compiz answers in a tenth the time it took to find anything related to the problem I was experiencing with Vista. Of course, nVidia's drivers are fine in Vista...*wince*
You'd think the people with the guns and the task of protecting us from bomb threats would have some idea of what to look for in identifying a threat.
Oh, wait. Does Sony make 9V batteries now? *high-hat*

Never any love for the lowly pootworm. :(

No, they want to take down Usenet.com. Slow down there Speed Racer. Breathe.....breeeeeaaathe....

Man. You just hijacked my freetime this weekend.

Agreed, now I have to read the actual text of the comment to know what's being discussed. That's just not the Slashdot way!
I be PRES-O-DENT! You know, I really would vote for him.
