Ha, funny how I completely failed to see the ability to spectate your opponent. Please disregard =)


As for high res support, I've spent some time patching the 'crash sites' that come along when you force JJ2 into a higher resolution, but it's not a trivial task. There are basically three problems:
  • Adding the higher resolutions to the options
  • Increasing the size of all the in-memory structures in which JJ2 stores information about the visible tiles and sprites
  • Adjusting all code so that it does not stop drawing/processing prematurely
The first one was easy to fix. The second is annoying to find but not difficult to fix. The latter is a real pain because it sometimes requires a deeper knowledge of the purpose and architecture of that piece of code.
