----------------------------------- Clayton Tue Jun 20, 2006 5:09 pm Eliminating the Run Window ----------------------------------- what languages out there can allow you to modify the "run window" to make it full screen? my friend asked me before and i told him i didnt know so now im asking u guys :D ----------------------------------- rizzix Tue Jun 20, 2006 6:17 pm ----------------------------------- What run window? ----------------------------------- Cervantes Tue Jun 20, 2006 7:47 pm ----------------------------------- Heh. The point rizzix is making is that most programming languages don't use a a run window for everything. Text only programs are run through the command line. If you want graphics, you have to use a graphics library (such as SDL, GTK+, Fox, OpenGL...). This means that you'll be using these libraries to create your run window. So, any programming language that uses external graphics libraries can probably create full screen windows, provided those libraries that can do this have the necessary bindings for that language in question. ----------------------------------- aldreneo Thu Jun 22, 2006 7:39 pm ----------------------------------- Program in C/C++ with SDL, or Direct X, OpenGL ----------------------------------- Null Fri Jun 23, 2006 9:06 am ----------------------------------- This is exactly my problem with teaching Turing as a first language. People get accustomed to unrealistic situations. ----------------------------------- upthescale Sun Jun 25, 2006 11:59 am ----------------------------------- %SuperFreak- dont u meen setscreen("max;max")????? ----------------------------------- Mazer Sun Jun 25, 2006 2:17 pm ----------------------------------- That's not fullscreen, that's a maximized window. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Jun 25, 2006 6:06 pm ----------------------------------- Furthermore, that's Turing-only; SuperFreak82 was asking about languages in general. How I wish we had a karma system at this moment. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sun Jun 25, 2006 6:57 pm ----------------------------------- How I wish we had a karma system at this moment. I think you mean the black card system. ;) Anyway, the real answer to this topic is basically any language other than Turing. :)
