This function modifies the size of the window. Typically, the window size is set in the init function.
void CP_System_SetWindowSize(int new_width, int new_height);- new_width (int) - The width to set the window to.
- new_height (int) - The height to set the window to.
This function does not return anything.
void init()
{
// Set the window size to a small square
CP_System_SetWindowSize(10, 10);
// Set the background to white
CP_Graphics_ClearBackground(CP_Color_Create(255, 255, 255, 255));
}This function sets the position of the application window within the user's monitor screen. The top-left corner of the window will be set to the position provided. Note: The position (0, 0) is at the top left of the monitor screen.
void CP_System_SetWindowPosition(int x, int y);- x (int) - The X coordinate of the window's top-left corner.
- y (int) - The Y coordinate of the window's top-left corner.
This function does not return anything.
void init()
{
// Set the window position to be 100 pixels from the top of the screen
// and 200 pixels from the left edge of the screen
CP_System_SetWindowPosition(200, 100);
}This function sets the window to fullscreen. It will automatically sets the window's pixel width and height to the monitor's width and height. Use CP_System_FullscreenAdvanced to specify a pixel width and height for the fullscreen window.
void CP_System_Fullscreen(void);This function has no parameters.
This function does not return anything.
void init()
{
// Set the window to fill the screen
CP_System_Fullscreen();
// Set the background to black
CP_Graphics_ClearBackground(CP_Color_Create(0, 0, 0, 255));
}This function sets the window to fullscreen like CP_System_Fullscreen but lets you set the pixel aspect ratio of the screen as well. If you try to set the screen to an aspect ratio unsupported by the monitor, it will be set to the closest aspect ratio possible.
void CP_System_FullscreenAdvanced(int targetWidth, int targetHeight);- targetWidth (int) - The pixel width of the window.
- targetHeight (int) - The pixel height of the window.
This function does not return anything.
// Horizontal position of the square
float x_pos;
void init()
{
// Start the square at the left of the screen
x_pos = 0;
// Set the square to draw yellow
CP_Settings_Fill(CP_Color_Create(255, 255, 0, 255));
// Set the window to fullscreen 1280x720
CP_System_FullscreenAdvanced(1280, 720);
}
void update()
{
// Set background to black
CP_Graphics_ClearBackground(CP_Color_Create(0, 0, 0, 255));
// Draw the square
CP_Graphics_DrawRect(x_pos, CP_System_GetWindowHeight() / 2.0f, 100, 100);
x_pos += 2;
// If space pressed, reset the state
if (CP_Input_KeyTriggered(KEY_SPACE))
CP_Engine_SetNextGameStateForced(init, update, NULL);
else if (CP_Input_KeyTriggered(KEY_Q))

Sets the target frame rate (fps) for the application.
The internal frame rate controller manages when each update call happens. If the processing required to complete one update finishes quickly then the frame rate controller will idle the CPU. Once the total desired frame time has passed it will then start the next frame. If the processing required to complete one update takes longer than one frame's worth of time then the next frame will start immediately.
