Game doesn't stretch completely to edge of screen (temporary fix?)

[rduke1982]

I was having some issues with the game not stretching to the edge of the screen. This error occured on my mac as well as HTML builds. I am using both 512*512 for the game project settings and the custom script.

Here are some examples.

I ended up fixing the problem by copying the required files from the template and making the following changes (i.e., using * 2 in the following lines: 116,117 and 122,123):

local function draw_upscaled(self)
    -- calculate zoom
    local window_width = render.get_window_width() * 2
    local window_height = render.get_window_height() * 2
...

    -- positioning
    local width = self.width * 2 * zoom
    local height = self.height * 2 * zoom
...
end

Result:

Maybe there's a better way? The description under scale snapped says:

"The upscaled low-res texture will by default be scaled to fill as much of the window as possible."

But that doesn't seem to be the case. Or maybe I didn't understand the last part of the message about zoom.

I think this is because you are testing on a Retina (2x) screen. There is no way in the Defold APIs to detect this. DefOS has a function to get the screen scaling though.

Thanks. I had read about this but wasn't sure if it was the reason. I think the best way to find out if this issue is fixed or not is to have non-Retina screens test the game.
