I'd like to know what are the monitor stacking limits because I'm building a casino and I'm trying to make a ascii animation that will run inside on a huge screen.
I tried building a monitor big enough for my animation but it won't go past 6 in height…it won't merge ….and i don't know if this is the limit or this is the limit of my pc?…i have this crappy intel gpu and can barely run minecraft.
this casino i'm making is for a server so if you can build monitors bigger then 6 in height i'm good but if you can't i'll have to redo all of the ascii art…….guess that's what you get for coding in notepad++.
So can someone tell me the exact limits of how big you can make a monitor?

The maximum size is 8x6 blocks and it cannot be changed.

AHhhh…..crap
This one's done
just run it on a 5x6 monitor and see what it does….it's pretty ugly though because i had to resize the pictures i made the animation from.
noob question though…how do i attach a file?

Wiki will tell you that.

Run

monitor the program with top monitor and read the file text

wait?…what?
so this was my initial reply:
ahhh crap (because of the 8x6 max monitor answer from above)
then i edited and added this part:

noob question though…how do i attach a file? ( I was referring to the file with the program as i wanted to attach it for sharing)
then i went to the program library section and seen that users use pastebin to show their stuff so i got an pastebin account and added this part to the reply:http://pastebin.com/SFNpQwnY
( again with edit)
clear now?
run the program tell me if you like it?
