I noticed that any text displayed within DarkBASIC Pro applications is anti-aliased. How can i remove that? I don't want the in-game text to be anti-aliased.

DBP text is not anti-aliased. What method are you using? TEXT? PRINT? Pasted to a sprite?

Simple PRINT output:



The "Hello sir" text is displayed with aliased text. Soft edges.

Is your resolution set to match that of the monitor? Incorrect resolution could cause the text to look as if it is antialiased although it won't actually be.

yes you can.....

i can't remember the correct syntax but check the help file for display commands.

A bit of coding will allow you to create a display menu within the program so that all users of your game can configure it theirselves.

You can return the desktop resolution with, I think the DESKTOP WIDTH() and DESKTOP HEIGHT(), so something like this at the start of your program should put it to the same as that:

SET DISPLAY MODE desktop width(),desktop height(),32

Haven't tested but it is something like that .

I think it's SCREEN WIDTH() and SCREEN HEIGHT(). But I'm not near a test machine either, so I can't be sure.

Aha Mr.Vink - that would only give you the current running screen resolution instead of the desktop resolution, the DESKTOP WIDTH() etc commands are very new.

Or you could set your application to full-screen exclusive mode, which would mean that the screen would use YOUR display resolution, although that method has some downsides also.
