CocoaBlitz will have fullscreen switching by uDg 2k3.

[kelvin]

For those of you who are going to use CocoaBlitz for udg2k3, it will have the ability to switch to and from Fullscreen from a windowed view. I have it working at current, but I'm still working on some kinks as well as trying to get demos and examples ready for next week. Fear not, I promised I'd have it ready and I will.

[FreakSoftware]

Is there any documentation yet?

[kelvin]

working on that too. :D

[Josh]

Three cheers for kelvin!

Given my time constraints, I'm looking at CB right now for my uDG2k3 entry. I've modified the demo project to use Amelio for input. Works really well so far. I think the CBView needs a way to accept first responder.

Also, if you can come up with what the final licensing requirements for CB will be, I can better decide if it is for me.

Nice job Kelvin... keep it simple like this, don't add too many bells and whistles or it won't be as useful.

[Josh]

Just subclass CBView to get firstResponder.

[kelvin]

I've posted the update.

enjoy your fullscreen switching.

[Josh]

Thank you!

[skyhawk]

indeed thank you... now if only I knew how to use this thing :D

*gets backs to working on prize list* OH YALL PEOPLE WILL DROOL! ;)

I tried switching to full screen in the demo, and it completely messed up my desktop. Are you using CG's capture displays? Or are you using QT's enter full screen?

I'll write my own full screen switching and use CG. I'll post an example of what i make when I do.

[FreakSoftware]

It worked for me. I'm working on my own CG calls at the moment (to be added to CSK). Which reminds me, I wanted to know if you were planning on making CocoaBlitz easier to use. CSK is awesome but the performance bites.

[skyhawk]

full screen toggling is fast and working for me..... now make it easy to understand! :D

how do I get rid of these warnings:
ld: warning -F: directory name (/Users/kelvin/Documents/Development/CocoaBlitz/build) does not exist
ld: warning -F: directory name (/Users/kelvin/Desktop/CocoaBlitz Framework+Examples) does not exist
ld: warning -F: directory name (/Users/kelvin/Desktop/CocoaBlitz Framework+Examples/CBWindowedDemo) does not exist

I'll write my own full screen switching and use CG. I'll post an example of what i make when I do. I used CG to switch. I fade, capture, -[NSOpenGLContext setFullScreen], then fade. on exitFullscreen I fade, -[NSOpenGLContext clearDrawable], fade, release display.

Hmmm... I'd not expect that to foul it up. I'll have to try it again.

The CB switching works fine for me, except that it squishes the PB window when my app crashes ;)

[kelvin]

I've fixed the issues with the fullscreen events not getting to the delegates. I've also locked the fullscreen pixel resolution so it's independent of the window scaling. The download is in the same place.

[skyhawk]

so when are you going to add CBKeys? :D

[kelvin]

I'm workin' on it, I'm workin' on it!

LONG LIVE CSK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


lol, no, but seriously, the abstraction and different classes that CSK has really help in the design and reusability of code. Will there ever be the concepts of Layers and Sprites or just Cells & Textures (which make no sense to me)?

[Steven]

I just made a wrapper framework which changes the cells to sprites for my uDG entry ;)

CBCells are far more flexible than SKLayers in terms of geometry and usability. Once I catchup on loading and animation, CocoaBlitz will be superior; and simpler to boot. Besides, CB's drawing and geometry routines leave CSK in the dust :p

By the time udg ends, this competition should get interesting :D
