Re: [glob2-devel] Drawing the minimap

[jon Neal]

Ok, I'll try to change it to 128x128 and I'm going to give it more of a radar feel by adding 2 or 3 opaque lines behind the current gray one. I guess I'll get rid of the sub-pixel anti-aliasing then, too!

Hi,

We have discussed this many times in the last 10 years... and we got to the
conclusion that although its original reason is smootheness of minimap
computation, it is still ok as it gives a radar style. However, if someone
really wants to change this, I'm not against, but that is not high priority.
For instance, putting minimap in 128x128 now that width of right panel has
been extended would be better, as it would allow for faster drawing of the
minimap, by removing the current subpixel anti-aliasing.

Have a nice day,

Steph
