How to set fullscreen mode?

Post by minas1 »

Hi, how can I set fullscreen mode after I create the IrrlichtDevice? If I call device->maximize() is doesn't work correctly. Is there a set fullscreen method?

The only way to switch from windowed to fullscreen and vice versa is to reset the irrlicht device, meaning you'll need to save the states of all your systems, which can be quite tricky to pull off

So the only easy way is to let the player choose from the start if he want's fullscreen or not right?
