world space
Screen location is indicated on the status bar, expressed as either
world space or screen space.
Screen space is a literal representation of the video frame buffer,
and varies with the video standard.
World space, or resolution-independent space, is measured in
arbitrary units, selected by the user. For a 4x3 aspect ratio, the
default world space is 6.0 vertical units that range from -4 to +4
across the screen, and 8.0 horizontal units that range from -3 to +3
bottom to top. The point (0.0) is in the center of the screen.
In Options/Preferences, choose Cursor Movement by Screen Units
for world space.
You can set world space units to any convenient value. In
Options/Preferences/Advanced, enter the number of full screen
vertical units, and Deko500 derives the number of horizontal units
automatically by multiplying the height by the aspect ratio. The
current number of vertical units is stored in the system variable
@resolution .
