I tested and it seems to be working.

I only found a small "issue", but I'm not sure if some will encounter this issue in real life:

I tested the screen sizes by starting PADD in a big window and then I slowly shrink the window. All sizes worked correctly, when the screen became to small, the "ants" text wasn't displayed and everything was messed.

If I try to start PADD using the same small screen the "Error! PADD isn't for ants!" is correctly displayed.

I don't think this issue is recent and I'm not sure if this is really a big issue. No one should try to use a window that small.

This is kind of expected. We prevent startup in ant-size, but don't check later. I think I removed the check because I was annoyed while checking the resize function that I killed PADD when I shrinkend the screen too much.
We could add an exception and display the ant info without exiting PADD. But then: why not allow startup if the screen is too small - maybe they can resize it and enjoy PADD.

I think I removed the check because I was annoyed while checking the resize function that I killed PADD when I shrinkend the screen too much.

I know the feeling... that's why my size test was started with the biggest screen and I was shrinking it. I was expecting PADD to exit with "ants" message.

If this is expected, it is approved.
