Multiple Monitors

Would it be possible for a Construct game to run on two monitors at once...

(i.e. One monitor is the game, the other is a HUD or whatever)

Essentially I'd like to take one layer and stick it on a second monitor. Perhaps if I span the desktop so my horizontal resolution is double, then double the screen width on my project..?

Anyone tried this?

Some graphics cards can treat both monitors as just one really long one - in which case it would work fine, you'd just have to make your game span both and position your elements accordingly...

may i point out that most people only have 1 monitor per pc. a lot of people won't be able to play this.

Got it. I'll try it with the SPAN DESKTOPS setup (when I get everything dialed in!) and report back.

I'm making this game for a dedicated arcade cabinet with a half-silvered mirror and specialized controls, etc... It actually makes it easier when I don't have to worry about various resolutions, CPUs, GPUs.

I might try to make a more vanilla version for use on a regular PC (That one'll be single monitor only!)

Video slots/poker?

I've read a great article in an australian games mag couple years ago, about building one of those and it looked awesome. I remember dreaming about building it, but never really started I hope you'll share photos of your final product with us. gl
