Enlarging window for older BAS programs (ie. Screen 7 mode)

[paulel]

I was wondering if it is somehow possible to enlarge the window for older BAS programs? 
Such as ones that use those older screen modes such as SCREEN 7.
When i run them, the window is quite small, playable, but small.

Hi. Try _FullScreen, or Alt + Enter after run.

Yes you can now create custom sized screens

Screen _NewImage(myScreenWidthPixels%, myScreenHeightPixels%, MyColorPallet%)

MyColorpallet% = 12, 256, 32
12 is 16 color old QB colors
256 is pallet stuff I dont use so cant describe well
32 is millions of color options using _RGB32(r, g, b, alpha)

Oh yes! for old programs use Petr's suggestion but you might need a little _Delay after Screen statement before going full screen.
warning: you may experience some distortion of circles and squares.

   I've been doing a lot of Palette Stuff so I'll describe 256.   
In 32 bit mode if you do a _MEMIMAGE the Image buffer pixels map to an Array of Long each Pixel stored in RGBA format.

In 256 palette mode Each the Pixels map to an array of _unsigned _byte and the Palette holds 256 (Indice's 0 to 255) Palette Descriptors in Long RGBA format
The Pixel Bytes are an Index into the Palette !       The Palette values can be set with  _PaletteColor Index, RGBAVal and retrieved with the  _PaletteColor(Indx) function !

If doing a _LoadImage("image.bmp", 256)  a default palette is used for image mapping
If doing a _LoadImage("image.bmp", 257) a more optimized adaptive palette is used !

$RESIZE:STRETCH  

$RESIZE:SMOOTH

Add either of those commands to the top of your program and you can grab and resize the window to whatever size you want once compiled.
