Legacy screens and circles
#1
While working with legacy screens I noticed something odd. Circles are not circles. They need to be forced to an aspect ratio of 1 to become true circles.

I realize these screens were stretched onto CRT monitors with 4:3 aspect ratios. Is that why the default circle is squashed?

Code: (Select All)
SCREEN 2

CIRCLE (100, 99), 50 '             not a circle

CIRCLE (300, 99), 50, , , , .418 ' this seems to be the default aspect ratio

CIRCLE (500, 99), 50, , , , 1 '    forced to an aspect ratio of 1:1, now a circle
