By design, wwwBASIC uses image smoothing, an algorithm that smooths the pixel edges as the screen console (which is a "canvas" HTML element) is scaled up and down.
Although this seems to generally be good for graphics, text can appear blurry.
In the latest version of BASIC Anywhere Machine, the customised version of wwwBASIC has been modified to enable/disable image smoothing for a program depending on the program's "Enable Image Smoothing" property (a new option in the Program Execution Properties viewer.
See the differences the setting makes with the Wumpus game (put them side-by-each to compare):
Next on my radar: I'm not in love with the character fonts in wwwBASIC. I'm thinking of setting up an alternative font that looks like the fonts on Commodore PET computers.
