Talk:Competition 05/FAQ

Transcluded from YYG Glog, 'Trollsplatterer':

''I’m afraid I won’t have the time to read all these messages, but here are a few answers to questions which were brought to my attention (and which I brought to Sandy’s attention):

> 1. Can “P” be used for anything other than actually just Pausing the screen? (ie: to access a Menu)

No

> 2. Can “Esc” be used throughout the game to access a Menu that include items/stats & things (ie: as an actual useful game button)

Can exit to any menu, but must include a “Quit option”

> 3. Can you “upscale or fullscreen” the screen. (*as an option*, but have the default size be the actual 480×272)

Yes, but I think it will have a bad effect on a handheld

> 4. Can you use .mp3 music as part of the .exe, even tho it requires MediaPlayer 7 is not directly supported by GM?

Yes, watch out with the file-size, though…

> 5: Can included files be used for external resources, to be extracted to the temporary folder for example on game start?

Yes

> 6: And in regards to unloading files from the exe on start, can folders be used in the exe directory to stick saves(ini files and such) in?

Yes

> 7: Can additional buttons be used with the same functionality as the spacebar? (spacebar & Z => same action)

Yes
