[kousha41564]

how do u make that window the program executes in bigger?

[Tony]

View.Set()

[kousha41564]

what wud be the code to make it full screen ?

[Tony]

There is no "full screen", but if you set the window size to be large enough, you could cover most of the screen.

i cant figure it out , please give me an example . sorry i am so stupid .

I was hinting that you should read the documentation. Use the F10 key. The documentation comes with examples of use.

[Forumer]

View.Set() screen size in () like
View.Set(graphics:800;600)
or use setscreen
setscreen(graphics:800;600)

[ecookman]

you can use this for a kinda full screen



View.Set (graphics: maxx;maxy)

@ecookman -- I'm giving you another warning for suggesting to use a piece of code that doesn't work on so many levels. Don't confuse those new to Turing further.

Thanks guysm what are the chances, lol, my teacher gave a lesson on this today ! hah

works for me...i have no clue what you are talking about...but ya of course you have to set the variable...but it works

as you guys keep telling me..and this is how i learned it....

when you get an error saying something has not been declared....hmmm same thing with the count down timer learn how to use it. the only way i learned turing was by getting half full answer where there is one part and i have to figure out the answer


soooo

@ ecookman -- thats not learning thats called, copy and pasting it. Furthermore, if you honestly learn that way, consider the fact you are a very tiny percentage of learners in that method, do not pass on bad habits, simply not a good thing to do.

What ecookman meant was:

code:

View.Set ("graphics:max,max")

What this does is it sets the screen to graphics mode (drawing and stuff like that) and then sets the x value of the screen size to the max Windows will go and the y value for the max Windows will go. Unfortunately, this just makes a really big screen so the X, minimize, etc. is still at the top and the taskbar is still at the bottom.

Bottom line: There is no way to get "fullscreen" in Turing, but the closest thing is making the window as big as you can by using the above code.


EDIT: I didn't see the post where the OP learned it from his teacher.
