Fullscreen

Added in 0.1.0

Whether the game covers the whole screen instead of running in a resizable window.

Specification

File
SUN.INI
Section

Value
boolean
When omitted
yes

A full-screen game opens a borderless window the size of the desktop. A windowed game opens an ordinary framed window that can be moved, resized, and maximized. Neither one changes the desktop’s own resolution: the game always renders at ScreenWidth by ScreenHeight and that picture is scaled into whichever window it has, so alt-tabbing away and back does not disturb the rest of the desktop.

This setting is read before the window is created, well before the rest of SUN.INI, and it is written back whenever the game saves its options.

The -WIN command line option asks for a window regardless of what this setting says. It applies to that run only and is never written back, so a launcher can offer a window without disturbing the player’s own preference.

WindowWidth and WindowHeight size the window when this setting is off. They are ignored while the game is full screen.
