Qpe-wordgame For 480x640 Vga
« on: April 19, 2005, 06:51:31 am »
Hi

If anyone is interested, I have hacked the code for the above to increase the hardcoded tile and font sizes, so that it will display full screen in 480x640 VGA ie in portrait mode on my C860.
That's the only change to an otherwise excellent game

You needed prodigious eyesight or strong reading glasses to play the original on the higher res screen.

I have posted it on my web site  { Click here to download } for anyone who wants it

It launches in 640x480 but can then be rotated into 480x640.  You need portrait mode to see the tile rack and buttons.
I have tried setting Display=480x640/144dpi in the wordgame.desktop file but this has no effect

(If anyone can provide a definitive answer to how you change the display mode for launch for all apps, I would be very interested)

enjoy

Melee

PS

The 2 fonts used are smooth-times and helvetica
I'm sure that smooth-times is a standard font found in the ROM image,but it can be downloaded if your ROM doesn't have it.
I downloaded helvetica in its various sizes at some point so I have posted that also for any of you that get problems displaying fonts { Click Here to download}
