Full Screen Game. How?

Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/Full Screen Game. How?

Stuart(Posted 2013) [#1]
Why, when creating an HTML5 game are we restricted to a screen or canvas size of 640 x 480 pixels?
How do we adjust the size of the canvas, is it possible? I have scoured the command/language index but to no avail.
If this is not achievable through HTML5 compilation how else might I have full screen control as easily accomplished with
Blitz Basic/Plus, Blitz Max etc.?
I eagerly await your help and solutions, thankyou. :)

You need to edit the MonkeyGame.html file inside the .build folder of your project.

The diddy module has a SetNativeGraphicsSize function which you may find useful also

Whilst I am now able to resize the canvas, which has been a great achievement, I wonder is it possible to remove both web address bar and task bar allowing the use of the entire screen?

In firefox, Chrome and Safari you can request full-screen mode in HTML5:
