Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues
The level is always drawn at 2120x1200 pixels.
At resolutions smaller than 2120x1200, either horizontally or vertically, the level will scroll smoothly vertically, horizontally, or both when the player is approaches the visible edge of the level. This does not affect the gameplay experience measurably.
At resolutions larger than 2120x1200, either horizontally or vertically, the level is drawn either pillarboxed or letterboxed, respectively. At resolutions larger than 2120x1200 in both directions, the level will be drawn windowboxed. This does not affect the gameplay experience measurably.
Exception: 4k (3840x2160). Refer to notes in the 4k section.
Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues
The level is always drawn at 2120x1200 pixels.
At resolutions 1080 pixels tall, the level will scroll smoothly vertically when the player is approaches the visible edge of the level. The level is then windowboxed with a gray area to 16:9. Edges beyond are pillarboxed with black area to fill the remaining resolution.
At resolutions 1200 pixels tall, the level will vertically fit the screen exactly. Edges of the screen horizontally are pillarboxed with black area to fill the remaining resolution.
At resolutions 1440 pixels tall, the whole level is drawn. The level is then windowboxed with a gray area to 16:9. Edges beyond are pillarboxed with black area to fill the remaining resolution.
None of these resolutions affect the gameplay experience measureably, but also do not take advantage of the UW aspect ratio.
