frankdev Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hey all, As I develop my games in html5, I often notice that browser games feel different than downloadable games. This is simply because of the nature of web browsers; they are not specifically meant to showcase games. Because of this, I often find even myself clicking on other tabs as I play my game; kinda going in and out of the gaming experience. I don't really want my game to be displayed in a normal browser window for these reasons. Is there any way that I can make my game downloadable and have a file that opens a window which only contains the canvas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuuuurija Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Following techniques can be useful1. You can make your game launch as Fullscreen using Fullscreen API2. Open your game as popup, using the typical window.open method3. Wrap your game in node webkit, and create a executable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
