Doesn't display output properly

It only shows some of the screen

Hey, I'll need some screenshots and information about your OS and terminal emulator in order to debug this

I am on windows 11 and I use cmd.exe to run the file. I did nod build from the source but instead downloaded it from releases. The issue is that it displays the bottom of the screen and cannot render a stable image. Are there any special settings I need to enable?

Hey, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. If you're still interested in solving this issue, I'd recommend trying the following:

• Maximize your terminal window
• Experiment with different screen sizes by passing the -scaling flag, as described in the README.

Slightly necro-posting, as the author (@wojciech-graj ) mentioned, (but isn't made explicit in the readme), it looks like you'll need 80 char wide, 50 tall*.

doom-ascii/src/doomgeneric.c

Line 22 in 052c252

unsigned DOOMGENERIC_RESX = 80;

Which actual console (the original command prompt or Windows Terminal or a 3rd party), your font selection and size, etc. will all affect how well the image resolves.

FWIW, the downloaded .exe and compiling the linux version in WSL all seem to "work" well enough.

A quick test of doubling the resolution does make detail a lot better, but it barely keeps up and you can see some, er, screen tearing (!) on my system.

telnet port doesn't resize for me
