Hi and welcome to the forums.
I'd recommend reading the
PiL, to get a foothold of lua (It's enough to skim it at first, or to just use it to look up stuff you might not fully understand), or use
the tutorials on this site, since they might also be helpful.
After that, browsing the
Löve wiki will also help.
That said, here's your code corrected, with comments:
Code: Select all
function love.load()
local count = love.window.getDisplayCount() -- Not sure you need this at all; maybe for sanity checks regarding the below comment.
local currentDisplay = 1 -- You speficy which display you want the window to open at; this should be only relevant if you're actually saving this to a file, so on reload, it can show the window on the display you last left the window on, for example.
--local width, height = love.window.getDesktopDimensions(currentDisplay) -- You don't need this because of the below comment.
love.window.setMode(0, 0, {display = currentDisplay, fullscreen = true}) -- From the wiki: "If width or height is 0, setMode will use the width and height of the desktop.". The fullscreen mode defaults to "deskop fullscreen", which is better than exclusive fullscreen, especially when people might have more screens. Also, the screen the window will first pop up is completely irrelevant, since you don't know the layout of the screens that make out the whole desktop.
end
or, in short:
Code: Select all
function love.load()
love.window.setMode(0, 0, {fullscreen = true})
end
or better yet, in order to avoid flicker, just use the conf.lua config file, as shown here: [wiki]Config_Files[/wiki].
Code: Select all
function love.conf(t)
t.identity = nil -- The name of the save directory (string)
t.version = "0.10.2" -- The LÖVE version this game was made for (string)
t.console = false -- Attach a console (boolean, Windows only)
t.accelerometerjoystick = true -- Enable the accelerometer on iOS and Android by exposing it as a Joystick (boolean)
t.externalstorage = false -- True to save files (and read from the save directory) in external storage on Android (boolean)
t.gammacorrect = false -- Enable gamma-correct rendering, when supported by the system (boolean)
t.window.title = "Untitled" -- The window title (string)
t.window.icon = nil -- Filepath to an image to use as the window's icon (string)
t.window.width = 0 -- The window width (number)
t.window.height = 0 -- The window height (number)
t.window.borderless = false -- Remove all border visuals from the window (boolean)
t.window.resizable = false -- Let the window be user-resizable (boolean)
t.window.minwidth = 1 -- Minimum window width if the window is resizable (number)
t.window.minheight = 1 -- Minimum window height if the window is resizable (number)
t.window.fullscreen = true -- Enable fullscreen (boolean)
t.window.fullscreentype = "desktop" -- Choose between "desktop" fullscreen or "exclusive" fullscreen mode (string)
t.window.vsync = true -- Enable vertical sync (boolean)
t.window.msaa = 0 -- The number of samples to use with multi-sampled antialiasing (number)
t.window.display = 1 -- Index of the monitor to show the window in (number)
t.window.highdpi = false -- Enable high-dpi mode for the window on a Retina display (boolean)
t.window.x = nil -- The x-coordinate of the window's position in the specified display (number)
t.window.y = nil -- The y-coordinate of the window's position in the specified display (number)
t.modules.audio = true -- Enable the audio module (boolean)
t.modules.event = true -- Enable the event module (boolean)
t.modules.graphics = true -- Enable the graphics module (boolean)
t.modules.image = true -- Enable the image module (boolean)
t.modules.joystick = true -- Enable the joystick module (boolean)
t.modules.keyboard = true -- Enable the keyboard module (boolean)
t.modules.math = true -- Enable the math module (boolean)
t.modules.mouse = true -- Enable the mouse module (boolean)
t.modules.physics = true -- Enable the physics module (boolean)
t.modules.sound = true -- Enable the sound module (boolean)
t.modules.system = true -- Enable the system module (boolean)
t.modules.timer = true -- Enable the timer module (boolean), Disabling it will result 0 delta time in love.update
t.modules.touch = true -- Enable the touch module (boolean)
t.modules.video = true -- Enable the video module (boolean)
t.modules.window = true -- Enable the window module (boolean)
t.modules.thread = true -- Enable the thread module (boolean)
end
This way, you don't even need that one line either.
