Hi, I just finished my Tier 1 app, and now I'm finding out that there aren't really too many window options for writing for a Mac/Windows computer.

1. Is there a way to make it fullscreen in Tier 1?

2. I know that there are apparently no Tier 1 window control options. Since I wrote my app in Tier 1, is there any way I can change my app so that there is no maximize button?

Thank you for the help!

You can make it fullscreen by adding the following line in your setup.agc file

//***********************************************************
// Specify whether to use fullscreen mode
fullscreen=1

In the AppGameKit editor in the left pane, expand the sources. There you will find your main.agc and setup.agc

Double click on setup.agc to open it. At the bottom of the setup.agc file you will see:

fullscreen=0

Change that to fullscreen=1

Save, compile, enjoy fullscreen...

Thank you for the fast response. How about if I want it to be a fixed size in window mode? How can I prevent maximizing?

To my knowledge there isn't a way to prevent the maximize button in Tier 1.

The only way would be to compile a new version of the player with the maximise button switched off...

i don't see (as said some month ago) any option to hide windows/mac system mouse cursor (to replace it with a mouse specific sprite/icon).

It is very simple when using Tier 2.

While you can take adventage of native commands with C++, do it this way:



This will ensure portability, as ShowCursor() command is part of windows' kernel.
(It will hide mouse but in Windows only.)

Have fun

PS.

For MacOS X you will want to use CGDisplayHideCursor(). Look here, for those with a Mac.

Eventually, consider using my Win32 library. It will allow you to scale the window / go fullscreen anytime with one command.

SetRawMouseVisible will hide the mouse cursor if present.

Doesn't this only affect Tier 2 programs?

It does indeed. For Tier 1 do this:

Quote: "In the AppGameKit editor in the left pane, expand the sources. There you will find your main.agc and setup.agc

Double click on setup.agc to open it. At the bottom of the setup.agc file you will see:

fullscreen=0

Change that to fullscreen=1

What I mean is, on ios or android you need to use the platform skds to wrap your bytecode. and hence your app is a t2 with a bytecode. and that t2 had core.cpp

in case of windows t1 produces an exe automatically
