Thanks all for your help. I have improved frame rate on my powerbook
at 1280x854 to over 30 frames a second by changing the way how I deal

helped!
Cool!
I did get a speed increase when using it at 1024x768, I use the MBS
plugin to resize the screen and that gave me the black borders around
the edge. Personally I prefer to play my games in Widescreen if I can,
I don't really know why.
I do too :-)
I was thinking I might make it Auto detect the best resolution for the
game, I am sure I have seen this before in a game but I cannot recall
which one. Where the game did some tests and then set the 'best'
resolution for you. You could of course change that resolution if you
wanted to.
What I usually do is provide a popup with a few standard resolutions
(640x480, 800x600, 1024x768) and the current resolution at launch time
(1280x854 for instance), and let the user choose. All the 4:3
resolutions are universal, and including the current resolution allows
for widescreen where it is supported.
Once again thank you all for your help. I am so glad there is this
list with people on who are so willing to offer advice and help. My
game is coming along (slowly). Finally all these years of playing
video games can become useful :-)
Haha exactly my argument. Let us know when you have a beta available :-)
