Clicking the minimap sends the camera to the wrong spot on my wide map

A minimap that works on a square map often fails the moment the world is wider than it is tall. This entry gives your AI the conversion in both directions, with the empty bands around the picture handled so clicks there do nothing odd.

Why this works

One scale for both directions keeps proportions true; two scales stretch the picture. The smaller of the two fits the whole world, and the leftover space becomes bands that have to be subtracted before converting.

When not to use it

Skip it if your minimap is stretched on purpose to fill a fixed box and your art accepts the distortion. Then two scales are correct, but players will misjudge distances.
