Changing display resolution in-game?

[InStars]

I want my game to work on multiple resolutions.
Is it possible to create a menu where user can chose his resolution and toogle fullscreen/windowed mode in-game?
I know that such stuff is stored in the config file, but is it possible to somehow modify it after the game is compiled?

1. The game is not actually compiled.
2. You can use setMode (http://love2d.org/docs/love_graphics_setMode_1.html):

Code: Select all

love.graphics.setMode(width, height, fullscreen, true, 0)

Thanks a lot, that was the thing I was looking for

I beg to differ, you might want to learn the inner workings of lua?

Anyway, the code is compiled at runtime, so in theory you should be able to modify the config, however LÖVE doesn't offer a way to change things in the .love. You should probably just write to the game.conf (it will then be written to the save dir, which will take precedence over the game.conf in the .love) Another way is to stop LÖVE from creating a window and do it manually after reading the settings from a save file, the first one is probably easier.

Sure, Lua is compiled at run-time, but .loves are not.
