Hi,
I've been working on a game with a pixelated style (cliche much?) And at the moment the game window is 150 by 100 px. Is there a way to scale up the whole window at once to, say, 600 by 400? I've seen the scale factor properties in drawings but how would I scale it up altogether, if possible?

Thanks in advance, noah

The easiest way is to call [wiki]love.graphics.scale[/wiki] at the start of love.draw. You just have to be careful with using Canvases, since if you don't reset or counteract the scaling they'd be scaled twice.

Markgo's Screen Scaler Helper is a ready-made solution for that. It handles the scaling and coordinates automatically based on your monitor settings and keeps a correct aspect ratio so that the graphics don't look distorted or uneven.

Some of the graphics generated with love.graphics won't be scaled though, so you need to modify his script a bit if you actually notice it (for example, by using a canvas).

Ulydev also made an alternate module, which correctly scales everything using a canvas, but his version has fewer options and is a bit buggy; it requires some testing. For example, it doesn't round the scale factors, so the pixels can be uneven depending on your monitor resolution.
