High resolution looks better. For those of you unfamiliar with Red Mercury games, you might be wondering why video performance would matter for a solitaire game in the first place. We end up playing a lot of solitaire, so we want the game to be very responsive. If it seems sluggish at all, it takes away from the fun of the game. Also, with automatic card movement and card dragging, the display has to refresh instantly, or the entire game has a muddy feel.
Low resolution is on the left.
You be the judge. Our original attempt at running in high resolution ended up being slow. Since AcidSolitaire has its own drawing routines, it wasn't taking advantage of hardware acceleration in high resolution mode. We really were four times slower out of the gate. Well, AcidSolitaire 2.0 in high resolution on the N710C runs faster than AcidSolitaire 1.0 in low resolution on the Visor Prism.
