Slick2d increase screenresolution without increasing field of view

Question

So I've implemented a scrolling camera to my slick2d game which works fine for me. But if I change the resolution of my game, eg from 800x600 to 1280x960 the field of view of the player increases extremly.

This is my camera class: http://pastebin.java-gaming.org/8a70696904d1d

Is there a way to increase screen resolution without increasing the field of view for the player?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use the ScalableGame Class. As long as you are using the Slick graphics and images to render the map, it should scale everything according to the resolution.

A demo on how to use it:

import org.newdawn.slick.ScalableGame;
...
ScalableGame s=new ScalableGame(new GAME CLASS HERE, WIDTH, HEIGHT,false);

    appgc = new AppGameContainer(s);
    appgc.setDisplayMode(705, 720, false);
    appgc.start();

This will scale everything including the player, menus and such. To understand how to use it read the javadoc here: http://slick.ninjacave.com/javadoc/org/newdawn/slick/ScalableGame.html

Answer 2

If I change all gc.getWidth & gc.Height in my cameraclass to a fixed value eg 800x600 it works.

Thanks for the help. It doesn't look really good tho, but thats another topic.
