v0.09 Update Notes


Back with a brand new build, this time with even MORE half-implemented features!  Wowsers!

1) Resolutions settings are available!  Sort of.  You can manually set the game's resolution to whatever you want by accessing the settings ini file (Users > [username] > AppData > Local > BlockBall or %localappdata%\BlockBall in Run) and changing the "res_height" and "res_width" options, followed by changing "res_custom" to have a value of 1.  The game should automatically adjust your resolution to match your monitor, but that's the hardest thing to test on a single computer.

2) Window options!  Sort of.  Similar to above, you can change the "window" option in the ini file to 0, 1, or 2.
0 = Windowed mode, this will open a window with a size equal to your display (unless changed in the ini file)
1 = Borderless Fullscreen, which maximizes a window to fit your monitor.  Check out the tiny text for the license in the credits!
2 = Exclusive Fullscreen, which sets the game to true fullscreen mode.
The two fullscreen options lack testing at different resolutions, so be warned

Known issues:
1) The menu in LLAB X BALL is non-functional at the moment (I think I know why, but it's kind of a pain to fix).  Opening it will pause the game as normal, but you won't be able to select any options, and attempting to do so will crash the game.  The menu can be closed by pressing Escape without a problem however.  You just can't leave.

2) Due to the nature of the way things are currently set up, the game lacks true support for aspect ratios that aren't the normal 16:9.  On an ultrawide (21:9) setup, for example, the game will add significant empty space on the left and right sides, and for smaller resolutions parts may be cut out.

The process can be watched live on Twitch or on Youtube in vod form.
