Camera Screen scale (2)

[FoodFish]

I use this code as my camera in my player class

FP.camera.x = (x - (FP.halfWidth)      FP.camera.y = (y - (FP.halfWidth)

but when I try scalling the screen in the “main” class using FP.screen.scale = 2; I lose the focus on the player

I have looked at this very similar post and tried the solution mentioned, but it just didnt seem to work for me

FP.screen.scale & camera

Hello. I am trying to center the camera on a player and it is not a big deal if the 'FP.screen.scale' equals 1. But when I am trying to "zoom" to 2 and more, the size of a visible region is getting bigger. Even if I set it to 800x600 and so on. How to center the camera on a player and keep the size of the visible area same as without scaling? Here is an example: http://moenerli.ru/mylab/flashpunk/Platform/ The size of the window is 1024x768 but it is actually not.

anyway if anyone know what im doing wrong i would greatly apreciate help thx:)

I think (though I’m not entirely certain) that if you just divide halfWidth and halfHeight by FP.screen.scale (in this case 2), that’ll put player back in the center.

FP.camera.x = (x - (FP.halfWidth)
FP.camera.y = (y - (FP.halfWidth)

The fact that you reference FP.halfWidth for both the x and y might be a problem.

Yeah that probably doesn’t help! Not sure how my solution solved the problem in that case…is the game window square?

[FoodFish]

yea it is, do you think it might cause problems in the future?

I don’t think so, just an uncommon resolution. If its small enough it should be fine
