Create a Mini Game, Terminal Resize Not Recognized

Bill Preston 20

In the Create methods in C# console applications (Get started with C#, Part 5)1. Challenge project - Create a mini-game

When testing code and the terminal is resized, TerminalResized is not triggered. I compiled the Final version and it is not triggered either.

Unable to confirm/test that part of the exercise.

This question is related to the following Learning Module

Hi Bill Preston,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

I've completed the tutorial exercise on the

Learn Path: Create methods in C# console applications (Get started with C#, Part 5),

Module: Challenge project - Create a mini-game,

Unit3: Exercise - Add code to end the game.

And I found the instructions to be straightforward and easy to follow. Everything seems to be functioning smoothly.

During tests with the Starter code, I noticed that the Terminal Resized event wasn't triggered. However, when testing the Final code, resizing the terminal triggered the termination of the game and displayed the message "Console was resized. Program exiting".

I've attached a screenshot for your reference.

I redownloaded and extracted and opened just the Final folder in Visual Studio Code. Build and Run.

The terminal still will not trigger the resize. I'm not sure if there is some setting in Visual Studio that is preventing the resize event.
I also compiled and ran the executable on another computer running Windows 11. It didn't trigger the resize exit either. Not sure what the issue is, but I'll trudge on. I assume there is a bug in Windows or some setting within the Windows terminal that is preventing the resize code execution.

After further experimentation, I found that you have to move the character after the resize before the code will trigger.
A bit confusing since there is no mention that just resizing the terminal window doesn't cause the execution. You have to resize and then move the player.

Hi Bill Preston,
Thank you for sharing your findings. It appears that in order for the code to activate, you need to both resize the terminal window and then move the player character. I understand that this may not have been immediately clear, and I appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Moving forward, please make sure to resize the window before moving the player to ensure the code triggers correctly.
