Beta 3 - Fullscreen Switching - triforceguy1 - 07-08-2011
With switching to Fullscreen, it kinda goes crazy as in it goes white then black a few times, I know that this is intended to help with slowdowns (which doesn't work) but it an be a bit disorientating for the player, especially if some players change the view mode in the middle of gameplay
I would recommend putting Ep. 1 or Ep. 2 on the game icons so that if the player puts the game in the dock, they can easily tell which one is episode 1 and which one is Episode 2.
That's all I got so far
I would just like to say that it seems that everyone is doing a great job so far, especially Vern who has done a very good job making the game

The fullscreen double switch is just a temporary test to see if it helps with the slowdown issue. It doesn't?? That's kinda surprising actually.

Didn't work for me either - the additional flashing just ends up looking like the game is thrashing a little. Will look into experimenting more at the SDL level...

Interesting, Rob. Maybe something else is causing it to
work properly-- something I'm doing in the code when it switches fullscreen, but not the fullscreen switch itself. Hmmm....
