spacefleetbattles's Issues

Build up the debrief screen

Player somehow targeted fast moving bullet

Small suggestion about multi-monitor situations

On this line

SpaceFleetBattles/SpaceFleetBattles/main.lua

Line 111 in f105907

local width, height = love.window.getDesktopDimensions( 1 )

I noticed that to set window size, you get monitor size from 1 monitor, even if game window on 2nd or 3nd monitor.
It's not that uncommon for desktop user to have 2 or more monitors, especially with different resolutions on each. What i want to suggest is what done in this example, near end: https://love2d.org/wiki/love.window.getDesktopDimensions
So your code will look like:

local _, _, flags = love.window.getMode()

-- The window's flags contain the index of the monitor it's currently in.
local width, height = love.window.getDesktopDimensions(flags.display)
res.setMode(width, height, {resizable = true})

After that, game window should get proper size of screen, based on which monitor game window is placed.
Also check other situations where you might interact with screen data, so it will use current monitor instead of fixed 1st.
