Inform: screen dimensions


Sat, 21 Oct 1995 17:05:10 +0100

Just in case anyone's interested, here's a list of the various screen sizes
used by people to play Infocom/Inform games (at least the ones mentioned in
this thread). Authors should take this into account if they're planning any
"special FX" in their games. Values are of course the number of characters,
the first is the width, the second is the height:

"Standard" 80x24
Acorn A4 74x26
Apple II 40x24
Atari Portfolio 40x8
Atari ST (ZIP for partially-sighted) 32x10
Psion 3A 60x11
Tandy CoCo 32x16

I guess some of these values will vary with interpreter, font, etc.
