i think you use siccors or something, right?

It is not possible to manipulate window decoration through LOVE I think.

Do you mean you want to run the game in fullscreen? Add fullscreen=true to the game's config file

[hellfiresage]

no, i mean i just want the picture to be on the computer then have it load a love game screen. read the sciccors thing in the reference manual.

That's not possible with LOVE.

I suppose if you really want to use scissors, just grab a pair and scrape the pixels that you don't want off your monitor.

Only possible with DirectX on Windows, if I'm not mistaken. Sorry bro.

The best thing you can do is write some text on top saying "DO NOT LOOK AT THIS YET" and make an arrow point up during the splash screen. Or just don't worry about it at all.

Scissor is used for when you're drawing onto the screen, but you want it to only draw on a certain part of the screen so it doesn't draw anything anywhere else. Can't think of a real situation where that may be useful, but hey, it is what it is.

I can: Split screen multiplayer, games featuring HUDs maybe...

i had ported the brain damage simple raycaster over to love and was trying to figure out how to do texture maps, i got the Y scaling working fine, the x scaling i still havent gotten right, but originally when i scaled out the x the image would naturally get larger, totally borking the entire effect, so for each sliver of the raycast i set the scissors, drew the rectangle, cleared the scissors and proceeded on to the next sliver, which worked great for keeping a slice of a scaled image within a set box ... but i havent gotten the scaling right ... still and its been about 3 weeks since i even messed with it

point is i was doing several hundred scissor cuts per draw loop, so its not just to block off 1 part of the screen
