Add a full screen detector

ZozaTech

Maybe your game lags crazy when you have full screen so if you have a full screen detector, if someone plays in full screen, you can say Thank you for playing in full screen or Please exit full screen. And if there isn't full screen you could say, Please play in full screen or Thank you for not playing in full screen
This should be the block

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if (current [ full screen]) then
say [Thank you for putting on full screen] for (2) secs
    
end

end

I think the lag would be detectable, I don't know the workaround myself, but I'm sure there is one. No support.

LattleKada

I don't know of a workaround so I support. This could be helpful for more than just lag.

Zarlog

Support, I don't see why not.

Nether_before

Support, I don't see how this feature could be used negatively.

scrooge200

Someone could do this…

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <fullscreen?::sensing> then
broadcast [Jumpscare v]
    
end

end

But Scratchers can report it. Semi-support.

There is not.

I have spent many hours trying to flawlessly detect fullscreen, but with (almost) no luck. And as far as I know, nobody else has a detector. About the best you can do is this: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/19316066/ . It works by checking the position of your mouse pointer when you click the green flag. Unfortunately with that method it doesn't update real-time.

Yes! Support! Full-screen RUINS my pixel art.

I'd love to have the ability to stop the game when the player enters it, and this seems to be the only real way.

Change me to support (Same person. different account)

Support! This would help in a lot of things that causes lag or otherwise in better when not in full screen.

Changing my strance to no support. Workaroundable.

. . .
if <not <(mouse x) > [202]>> then
. . .    
end

How is that a workaround?

m1ghty_boy

Yes I agree

if <fullscreen?> then
    
stop all sounds
play sound [Creepy breath echo v] until done
broadcast [JUMPSCARE v]
end

Awesome idea! I agree!
