Problem Description

FirefoxOS is not requesting fullscreen like other browsers

Attach a Capx

i made an capx to show that

Description of Capx

everytime you touchd the sprite and its not fullscreen mode the counter goes up, that means if every thing is ok the counter should go to 1 and then the game should be in fullscreen (works like this on every desktop browser here).

on firefoxos you can touche it very often, the counter counts which means the touch event functions correct, nothing happens, but the curious thing is, it will eventually request fullscreen, but never at the first time, most times it needs over 10 touches to do so.

First thought was that it just needs much time but if you only touch it one time and wait nothing will happen, not even after a minute.

it seems that it only fires at doubletouch, like double click

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• export capx or go to http://fldr.de/geck/
• touch the sprite
• see the counter go up every touch but browser not requesting fullscreen every time

Observed Result

after a random number of touches the firefox browser will eventually request fullscreen

Expected Result

to request fullscreen on first touch like most other browsers do

Affected Browsers

• FireFox for FirefoxOS: YES (tested on gecko 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 2.0)

Operating System and Service Pack

FirefoxOS 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 2.0

Construct 2 Version ID

175 but i dont think that matters

i can make a video if you dont have an device to test this <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

oh sorry i misunderstood you!

— thats because the inspect mode itself is very resource intensive

in the game im currently working on the debugger/profile says draw call: 0.6-1.1 events: ~0.5, but the fps is dropped to ~50 and the game is laggy

while in firefox its constant 60 fps, normally it was the other way around, chrome always performed better for me while firefox most times had some glitches and lag

Ashley spaceblaster test gets a score of 60 on firefrox here und 58 on chrome, that means it runs smooth but not as good as in firefox while my firefox always was a bit laggyer then chrome, especially when much stuff happens like in this test

yes, but it does nothing, like old android standard browser on my xperia ray

i recently updated my firefox phone from 1.1 through all versions to 2.0 (that means 1.2 ,1.3, 1,4. and 2.0) and it doesnt work in one of them

i use an event like 'on touched sprite' - 'browser request fullscreen'

could it be that the implementation in construct2 is not what firefoxos needs?

i think i would add an extra animation with this one sprite and make one event like yours (but not set frame, use set animation) together with 'system-trigger once'

other method could be to make an event, 'set frame to 3' and 'set animation speed 0' and 'system-trigger once'

edit: little stain is always some seconds faster then me ^^

the event also fires every tick while x<=234 if you dont add 'system-trigger once'

what exactly do you mean? the grey "bars" ? posting the original image for that background could help

here is what i use for this

var_int_player is the "speed" of the paddle

y: 109 and 319 are my boundaries, the paddle shouldnt move any further if it reaches this position

for your game you have to change y to x and the value for the boundaries.

Hi ashley,

that bug list is a fabolous idea and i voted for all the chrome and gecko bugs!

could you please add this to the gecko list?

-request Fullscreen in Firefox OS Browser

i already made a bug report under https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1033338 but am not sure if i did it correct

do you need that money to put food on the table while developing this game or do you need to buy something for developing this game?

i recently finished a break out game and could possibly help you with the logic and stuff, also Kenney (http://kenney.nl) released some nice graphics for that kind of game to public domain (CC0), so they are free of charge.

when you finish the game you can easily get 200$ from FGL (http://fgl.com) for implementing theyre API which is 40% of the money you are aiming for.

Hope that helps you!

btw where do you come from?

No issues here. As ever for a first stop visit chrome://gpu and see what it says. Maybe the update blacklisted your graphics card/driver.

it says: GPU rasterization is whitelisted on N4, N5, N7 and Moto X: 362779

Disabled Features: gpu_rasterization

will this be solved with new drivers or better graphicscard ?
