So, I had an idea today.

When the computer is open and you press a key on your keyboard (probably something like F6), it would make the GUI take up the whole Minecraft window. The text size would stay the same, therefore you could have higher resolution graphics. There would also be a new function:

term.isFullscreen() -- returns true if it is in fullscreen, and false if it's not.

We could have higher resolution graphics, and I can also see this being useful for Operating Systems who want a "desktop" with a clock, programs, Start button, etc.

Huh. Is that even doable with the normal gui interface methods?

I can think of a way or two to do it...

Yeah I say it's plenty possible with the current GUI implementation

Nah. Little use really. Besides, we pass through all keys we can to the computer - and this would be any key other than escape.

It doesn't make logical sense. This is equivalent in real life to you pressing F6 and your monitor expanding to twice its size.

And wouldn't screen proportions (IRL) affect the resolution of the GUI? It would get quite messy if people with 16:9 screen proportions could have more characters on one line than people with 4:3 screen proportions...

No but I can go into settings and change my screen resolution from 800x600 to 1680x1050

Last time I checked (which is one minute ago), you can also change the character resolution of ComputerCraft in the config file. Also, changing your resolution from 800x600 to 1680x1050 doesn't make your screen 4 times larger.

Doesn't changing the char resolution resize the gui window? ... No but it displays a crisper image as the programs have access to more pixels...

I think you're just arguing for the sake of it now. This isn't going to happen anyway. It gets even more complicated when you consider multiplayer.

For me F11 change fullscreen mode and cannot be get, F10 works not each time, Esc close gui but cannot be get.
Also can you make gui close with mouse click outside gui?

Like I said, all keys that we can.

And no, that would be annoying when trying to change focus back to the minecraft window.

Just a side note here.... does the ESC key actually get passed to the program? or is it just captured by the gui?
The reason I ask is I was wanting to get a screen to reset to default when someone leaves the computer... And I can't test to see if it gets passed with CC-Emu...

[ChunLing]

It does send an event ("key", 1), if that's what you're asking.

Yeh thats what I was asking... cool thanx

+1 for the disadvantage of testing in CC-Emu and it closing the computer GUI ...

[Cloudy]

No, it doesn't.

Damn... :/
Is that a choice on you guys part, or on minecraft's part?

[Cloudy]

Our part. Does it make sense that a computer knows when you stop looking at it?
