Console Sizing Issues

[bayou-brogrammer]

I'm trying to figure out if I'm crazy, or if there is a bug within bracket lib. I creates an 80x50 simple console and populated it with a floor and some mountain ranges (just using 'n' char), but the console seems extremely small.

i wanted the window to be around 960x720 for better readability, but if I increase the console size, it only changes how many pixels are drawn.

This is 120x90 console.

Im on a m1 mac and these are my specs.

Did some digging and started playing around with with_tile_diomension and with_demension to achieve what I wanted. I noticed something very interesting between the deployed code and your git branch. With this setup im using terminal8x8 but with tilesize of 12.

On the git branch there is pixel tearing:

but on the 0.8 version from crates.io, there is no tearing:

I'm wondering if your initialization is actually what you want to do? Using the simple constructor gets you a simple terminal, and then you're loading a "fancy" terminal as the second layer - and you're setting the font size for that one? I don't see tearing when I use:

    let context = BTermBuilder::new()
        .with_font("terminal8x8.png", 8, 8)
        .with_fancy_console(80, 50, "terminal8x8.png")
        .with_tile_dimensions(12, 12)
        .build()?;

With that said, if you want a 12x12 - I'd recommend grabbing a font of that size. There are some great ones here: https://dwarffortresswiki.org/Tileset_repository#12.C3.9712

Interesting. I believe it mainly happens with the horizontal bar. I updated the example to just draw a bar across the screen. That being said, if I use a 12x12 font, the tearing seems to not happen. I should also note using the 8x8 font, and then forcing the tile_size to (16,16) doesn't cause tearing either. So I guess its the 1.5x difference for the 8x8 font which causes some weird scaling issues

That makes sense. Sorry for the lack of replies, I set aside time this week - and the whole family is out sick. :-( I'm now trying to clear up a big chunk of next week for bracket-lib.

Oh no problem! Family comes first. I'll close this issue as it seems it can be resolved with choosing an appropriate font size
