#linux users I need some help. On your main desktop linux box, if you open up a new terminal (and if in xwindows maxamize it), what is your row and column count? I'm asking for a game im building to get an idea of just how large i want to support up to.
@freemo The average for a TTY/console environment I think is 25x80 out-of-the-box. However, on Debian-based systems, people can run:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
to change their TTY/console settings. But for GUI environments, ask people what their output when running "stty size" in a terminal is.
@TheOuterLinux 80x24 actually, its the minimum, not the "average". Unless your at the lowest possible resolution or not in x-windows at all that is unlikely for most people.
@TheOuterLinux The game can run at any resolution. I'm just trying to play it locally at a sane resolution so i can see how it feels
@freemo I was referring to TTY/console and not with actual X running. If you're going to make a ncurses/ascii game of sorts then you can expect people to try to run it in a TTY. When in doubt, ask /r/command-line on Reddit. Those people are zealots if there ever where any on the subject.
