  — thank you! That was the problem. I managed to work around it by making the source image 30x30px, I guess because that's a power of 2 with a 1px margin on each side.

  Hi!

  So recently I've tried to learn GLSL and I managed to put together a shader for the finish screen in Airscape. It works totally fine in preview, but weirdly enough on export it's slightly broken.

  It seems to be independent of export platform and browser.

  Here's the project that demonstrates the brokenness

  Here's the shader itself.

  (The shader is in two parts, but both share the same bug so I thought I'd provide the one part).

  In preview, it looks like this:

  

  Exported, it looks like this.

  

  I briefly tested it on a Mac and it looked even worse in export, with weird pixel glitching etc. No idea if it's related, or a separate problem.

  Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm assuming the problem lies in the shader data being added to c2runtime.js on export. The problem happens with or without minification though.

  Thanks!

  Aphrodite that's a good point, yeah the upscaling doesn't end up being very cheap.

  I doubt you can do this through the browser. Maybe some custom nwjs thing could do it?

  Aphrodite low quality scaling does the same thing?

  What's the difference between 'real fullscreen' and what we have now? As — said, simply using high quality scaling will make the resolution the same as the screen size.

  Aphrodite yeah, hehe, I ran into the scale rate issue for the first time last night... that was a fair bit of fruitless hair-pulling

  — exactly that! It works rather well. A lot of people have asked how to do that, maybe it's worthy of a tutorial...

  megatronx as I said, it doesn't matter because my resolution system changes the window size dynamically. ingame you can go all the way down to 640x360.

  megatronx 1366x768 but that shouldn't matter at all the way I do things.

  — yeah the problem is people see '2d game' and immediately think it should run on a potato. Sigh...

  — What resolution was that at?

  That's a good candidate for a 'min spec' machine if it runs at 60 at a lower resolution.

  Yes but if it's much bigger than smallish-scale C2 probably isn't the best engine for something like that.

  All those problems seem to relate to using multiple gamepads. My game only uses one and I've never had problems.

  You might want to talk to Aurel, I know he's working on a 4-player version of Penelope.

  What I'd be interesting to hear is *why* it's not possible, or at least why it's not implemented in the browser APIs. Probably just another symptom of the idea that HTML5 games are little games.

  Don't think it's possible
