Changing game window size (most games)

[sevencube3]

I know that this may sound strange, but you can actually get a higher score in almost ANY game just by changing the window size to large. Yes, I know, this will result in a (much) lower framerate, thereby slowing down overall gameplay, but rest assured, you can get a higher score this way. I think it may be based on the sight-reading theory; in this case, I shall coin a new term -- I shall call this concept "SIGHT-GAMING"! Oh, come now, don't tell me you've never heard of sight-reading before! I mean, it's not like I've never heard of it! In fact, that's how I could understand music so well. But PLEASE don't get me started on that, because that would completely defeat the entire purpose of the topic! So please, I just want to keep it as simple as possible!

Size of the game can make a small difference in some case. But with a game that requires you to move your mouse around the playable area, then making it bigger also increases the distance you need to move your mouse so that balances out any slight advantage from a slower rate. Also for games that have a maximum highscore, you have to finish quickly to beat the other players with that maximum highscore so going slower in this case would actually hurt.

yea sevencube i think that ur only pointing out a tip for a small number of games.. most games provide little to no advantage based on screen size

Yes i do agree with SOME game's,i used to play on another website and it had fullscreen option,and doing this on curtain shooting,mouse clicking or avoiding game's it was very good for it,just like we had drama with people slowing there computer down or playing on really old comp's on purpose,like on clicking game's they were found oud because in a timed game of 10 second i could click my mouse about 130-145 time's but a few gamer's had score's of 600+ and there time reflected this were there time's were 2 min's + compared to everyone else's 15 second's to submit.
Personally prefer to play ALL game's at normal speed,and yes i have played a couple game's here in large screen but i never found it to go slower,prob depend's on your comp spec's,programme's running ect.
Oh except the 3d racing game,best to play that in normal size as i did find that goes slow but it is a high KB game.

Peace DADDY.

In some games such as Olympic Discus, a smaller screen is better because there is less distance between the discs....

I didn't know that would happen if I changed the window size I will try that.Thanks!

clicking games can benefit to some degree, but the extra movement needed by larger screen usually offsets the original purpose of the ride.

it's better with somes games, you may get a small advantage, but it is also better to make the game image smaller in other games....

have to say I prefer the small screen, not for any advantage, just prefer it.

I rarely use it, and could live without it, but I must say it's a unique feature of AB that I don't think I've seen anywhere else.

I usually stick with normal - but some games* are nicer big - and for these I usually also use F11 to expand my browser to accommodate them.

For those games you have to pick up something small like the weapon on matrix or trying to move a ship in a small space like evoltron it really does help but in most cases it is just a preference
