Eclipse hack to make fullscreen on 550

[Guest muff]

Hiya

since people were reporting the issues with GAPI games on the 550 (i.e. they are small in the center of the screen) I decided to take a very quick pass at fixing Eclipse to at least be full screen

(A HUGE thanks to mavisdavis for doing my testing for me and grabbing the screenshots below)

remaking it to make it fullscreen is out of the question as that's pretty much a complete rewrite, so a quick hack was in order

the quick hack in question basically 'stretches' the normal image to fill the 550 screen

this does mean that the graphics get a little distorted, but it does mean that it's fullscreen on the 550

So my question is, will people accept these gfx to get fullscreen??

here are some sample gfx :-

(though apparently it does look better in motion)

all thoughts welcome,

muff

p.s. I do intend to support the 550 properly in future games

I have written a linear scaling algorithm.. which useally produces a smoother resized image at the cost of performance.. but maybe that is something we can get away with the C550.. (prolly strong CPU?)

muff,

hell yes!!!!!

for some reason i trust your quick and dirty hacks more than some companies 'tried and tested updates' :)

CPU just doesn't have enough grunt to it

I've had Bresenham and Bilinear scaling routines tested on an actual 550 now (thanks beersoft) and the results on the C550 are disappointing to say the least

meaning that for Eclipse at least the quick scaling code is the best the phone can manage
