#1167 assigned defect
Screen resolution is problematic in Maze and Physics (The activity extends beyond the screen)
| Reported by: | wwdillingham | Owned by: | garycmartin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | Normal | Milestone: | |
| Component: | ActivityTeam | Version: | 0.84.x |
| Severity: | Minor | Keywords: | soas gpa resolution display |
| Cc: | Distribution/OS: | Unspecified | |
| Bug Status: | New |
Description
When running SoaS on hardware with various non-XO native screen resolutions, activities cannot adapt to the correct resolution.
This can be seen within both maze and physics activities.
This problem arose during a gpa pilot program session with caroline meeks.
It looks like sugar is not properly reporting to the activity the proper screen resolution, which is why this bug has been filed under sugar.

This was a problem seen at GPA.
- Maze and physics were to big to fit on the screen. Not sure if that
is a problem of the actitvity itself, but a screen resolution changing
tool would be useful. This is important on SoaS when it wasn't so hot
on XO.

specs on the computer in question are available in the early notes.
Several other activities also have this issue.
Thanks,

Assigning back to the activity team!
I've not seen this myself to debug, but this issue is likely linked to something PyGame (or OLPCGames) is doing differently than Sugar regarding picking up resolution/dpi settings.
