viewport.lua: make the screen smaller

[The0x539]

only designed to support 1-player mode

this is a scrapped aspect of a SCC level, I figured I'd put it out there. defaults to 640x480, can be changed by changing the values of viewport.width and viewport.height. aspect ratios other than 4:3 will be stretched rather than showing black bars.

code
save as viewport.lua, and load in the local/global level script as you would any other API.

I love this, I changed the res and it looks way more like SMW now, thanks for this!

This isn't needed in SMBX2 MAGLX3 or later. You can just do:

Code: Select all

local handycam = require("handycam")
handycam[1].zoom = 1.25

And that will do the same job. You can also make it support 2 player mode. You can also add black bars pretty easily yourself.
