Just Wondering about PO2

[robbythedude]

So I got a working game, with some menus and stuff.

I was just wondering why at my home computer, the image file of 800x600 works, but when I come to my university, it does not.

I searched the problem that I'm having, (White Screen), and people said it's because of the Power of Two Syndrome!
I tried soemthing, and that is my case also. But Why?

Weaker video cards cannot handle non-po2 images, it's a low-level problem that is a pain to get around. In Love 0.8.0 it will be largely fixed though.

For now you have to make the image bigger. In your case, 1024x1024 pixels as that's the next step up from 800 and 600. Just pad it on the right and bottom in a drawing program like PhotoShop or Paint.net or Gimp or something. Make sure all images are the same way with the width and height being a PO2. i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 or 1024 pixels. You can do 2048 too but some computers might have a different problem with 2048. Video cards are very picky and a pain in the ass when it comes to this stuff. They all have different limits.

Alright, that makes allot of sense.
I guess I'll do the padding idea till .8.0 comes out

Thanks Dudes or Dudets!
