exit in fullscreen in part-1-Graphics makes my desktop surface smaller

[visualJames]

If I start the program (https://tomassedovic.github.io/roguelike-tutorial/part-1-graphics.html final edition of this part) with cargo run --release and press alt + enter for fullscreen and then esc to exit the programm, the program exits, but my desktop surface gets smaller. Problem occoured in Ubuntu 19.10

Looks like something caused by the tcod-rs library or even more likely the underlying libtcod bindings.

Unfortunately, tcod-rs is using a pretty old version of libtcod and needs updating. There was an attempt at doing that here:

tomassedovic/tcod-rs#290

But it stalled. Unfortunately, I wan't have the time or energy to investigate this myself, sorry! If you want to give it a go, I'd be delighted to merge a fix. Otherwise, you may want to look at the RLTK tutorial:

It, as well as the underlying RLTK_RS bindings are actively maintained (unlike this tutorial and tcod-rs), they're written in pure Rust and they even support webassembly.

You might also want to check out doryen-rs by the original author of libtcod. It is another roguelike library that's actively maintained.
