Star Explorers Testing Branch Updated to Pre-Release Version 0.6.2a
This is a pretty major update, and I am expecting some issues to pop up. I have reached out to another programmer who made a resolution configuration script, and we integrated it with Star Explorers. It looks like it is working as designed (mostly) and it feels a lot more robust than the one I wrote.
When you run the game, the resolution options panel will pop up automatically. It should store whatever settings you use, so once it's set up, you'll just have to click "Play!" to go forward.

You can still change the video settings in the Options Panel, but do not try to set resolution there, it will not work.
[h3]Issue: [/h3]
UPDATE: As of version 0.6.2a the window (fullscreen) seems to have been resolved. It should allow you to set the screen size to 1280 x 720 (which is still my recommended size for the game) and have it fill your whole screen without giving you really small menus and text, as can happen at higher resolutions.
There is a new mode called window (fullcreen) that allows you to play full screen, but it is somehow not really full screen. One of the options here is to choose a lower resolution like 1280 x 720, and have it fill your screen, so the game would be kind of zoomed in. This option is not working correctly right now. But normal window mode and normal full screen modes should be working. God Willing!
I would really love to hear your feedback on this one, as would the programmer I am working with.
