Agreed. 800x600 should be the default target resolution of any modern
application.
Many netbooks now, I've noticed, use 1024x600, so this is at least getting
better, but definitely.

Crazy. I'm glad I have you guys around to tell me this... I haven't used a
screen smaller than 1024x{8,6}00 in years, so I never thought It'd be a
problem.
I'll make sure that gets taken care of.

I'm not so sure we need to restrict the screen that small. Using browser
trends as a guideline, hardly anybody is browsing at 800x600.

I don't know about you guys, but part of the thing which made me first
start coding when I was tiny was that I had a really rubbish old computer
which couldn't run any good games. Our audience might be people with
rubbish old computers.

This is absolutely true, and something I am concerned about. Obviously, we
want to support as many computers as possible. I'm going to play with it,
and see if stuff fits within 800px... at the same time, if only 1% of people
are using 800px width screens... I don't want to make hackety worse for the
other 99%.

Hi all,
Thank you for the discussion.
I tried to sort out Shoes spec for window-resizing.
Look at this commit note:
http://github.com/ashbb/shoes/commit/9a8b0e44c5177916649000ffa916361617fd941a
And try to use the latest Policeman snapshot on my github repo.
I think if you build Hackety Hack with this latest Policeman, you can resize
window smaller as you like. :)
Hope this helps,
ashbb
