Hello Codeproject,

I'm created a Minecraft 2D Clone.
I draw every block via the screen size(So I can find the middle of the screen).
But when I change the screen to 'FullScreen' it moves the middle point to the left of the screen, is there any way to fix this?

Here is my code:

C#

/* Screen size and optionals. */
GraphicsManager.PreferredBackBufferWidth = 1024;
GraphicsManager.PreferredBackBufferHeight = 576;
GraphicsManager.IsFullScreen = true;

And here is what I mean by changing the middle point:

So, would there be any way that the screen "Stretches" just like you would do by using a bitmap and stretching it over the full screen(As obviously pointed out by the picture, the PrefferedBackBufferSize changes if it's not full screen, or it is.

After a few hours of Googling I came across the code I should have used, and that is this:

C#

/* Set the screen's size(Width and height) to the chunk width and height. */
GraphicsManager.PreferredBackBufferWidth = GraphicsAdapter.DefaultAdapter.CurrentDisplayMode.Width;
GraphicsManager.PreferredBackBufferHeight = GraphicsAdapter.DefaultAdapter.CurrentDisplayMode.Height;
GraphicsManager.IsFullScreen = true;

I also made the chunk sizes a bit bigger so now it covers the whole screen.
