Hi all,

My tile-based game has a window size of 950 x 710 pixels - meaning that
you need a resolution of at least 1024 x 768 (for example) to play it.

Further question on this.

My tentative plan is to auto-maximise the game window if the game is
run in 1024x768.

Would people find this annoying?

I'd find having black bars on the side annoying, yes.

If you are doing a fixed res that doesn't fit, I'd much prefer a
windowed view over maximize with ugly black borders. Ideally, if you
full screen, you should stretch to fit regardless of the users
resolution. Running your game on my laptop may be annoying if
everything is too small due to my resolution. I then have to change my
resolution down to 1024 or what not, and that I find very annoying.
