Improve experience when running a project

[celyk]

My main use for Xogot other than development is running graphical demos, which I like to show to people I meet. The iPad is perfect for this. So I've been searching for solutions for a while, and almost every existing coding app is subpar or does not allow true full screen. That's why my current solution is a small app I made in Godot that can load resource packs.

Some recommendations

• In the project settings, you should add an option to play in Split View, Slide Over or Fullscreen straight away. This will save time fussing about with multitasking, and get straight to the point.

• Hide the status bar. For me it just gets in the way of immersive experiences where I prefer having control over every pixel in the screen. I don't mind allowing it to be shown briefly by swiping from the top. The 3 dots in the top middle of the screen can be hidden by disabling multitasking.

• Remember how editor panels were collapsed prior to running. Especially when I'm writing code it takes away tons of real estate and I have to keep collapsing everything to see all of my code again. I'm constantly stopping and playing in order to to iterate quickly. In the video you can see the left side comes back out. This would normally make sense if I was merely resizing the Xogot window. Any errors/warnings that pop up during debugging should go back to being collapsed too. If I want to see them afterwards I can expand it before pressing play.

It also crashes when going fullscreen from the main menu

why not use stage manager?

I would love to except my iPad (9th gen) does not support stage manager. I was told to update iOS and see if that fixes the crash
