Full screen

[NotExistant]

I was working on a way to allow the player to optionally play in fullscreen mode it works fine and all but when it maximizes the window you cant see the game anymore it turns gray. If anyone could tell me why or tell me how to make it change the windows resolution to 800x600 while the game is running so that I don't have to tweak all the sizes based on the width of the form that would be awesome :).

Hmmm. I think you'll need to change the resolution (which will unfortunately make it look funny with pixels and all) because that's how (example) windows internet explorer works, when you maximize the page, the resolution is changed, not just the size.
It's how maximizing and minimizing applications work. There might be a way but I'm about 98% sure there isn't.

look for dispMode in the source (in the direct x initialization sub), I think an optional parameter will change the screen resolution. If the resolution is 800x600, the game is full screen.

Ya, I always get confused on those.
The smaller the numbers, the larger the screen.. or at least bigger icons. >.>

use ctrl f, in the dx sub,not sure which model. But you can do it on the whole source and it will find it for you.
