[Slick2D] Fullscreen cuts the top of the game off

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

In my game I’m using this to make it fullscreen:


appgc.setDisplayMode(width, height, true);

Width and height are an accepted fullscreen size for slick2d, but If I use any size that isn’t my exact screen size, It cuts off the top of my screen! Why is this? Why can’t it just stretch?

#2

Fullscreen mode is only supported for a set range of resolutions (don’t know why), and Slick2D is picking the closest one.

But why on earth would you want it to stretch anyway?

#3

I guess your right, So should I just keep it static with my screen size? What would happen if someone with a smaller screen played? would they be cut off?

#4

Use the native resolution.

#5

Ahhhhh okay. And then make all positioning in the game relative to the new screen size?

#6

The game should not depend on the resolution. If it does, you have a serious flaw.
