Hi Stefan,

good to see that you are still around and improving your PCC. WOW!

I was pulled back to VGAP(.nu) by my son, and got again annoyed by the game-layout.

Gave PCC2ng a try, but its way too small on my screen, is there any fullscreen functionality?

Hard to admit, but it's hard to see how much you forget while noz playing for a long time. I almost forgot how to start my VPA scripts! *duck*

Both PCC2 and PCC2ng accept a "-fullscreen" option (edit the shortcut/menu item you're using to start it). This is intended to scale up the window to full screen size. However, many of the graphics driver/graphics card/display combinations today do not support that very well and only give you a small window in the middle of the screen.

PCC2ng can run with SDL2 which no longer has this problem; however, the binaries I'm currently publishing only support SDL1. I plan that the very next release of PCC2ng will have SDL2 binaries.

You're speaking of Nu. Please be aware that PCC2ng can download result from Nu, but cannot yet upload turn files. To actually play Nu with PCC/VPA, you still need c2nu for the time being. Turn upload for Nu is totally planned, but I guess you can understand that support for PlanetsCentral has higher priority for me :smile:

Wow, worked perfectly, thank you.

Yes I was aware of that, need to install perl and all the other stuff to play with VPA again. Well, maybe I have the time.

Until then I give NU a try. When everything works I give PCC/PCC the preference, your work is really apreceated.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
