    Logical Size

    Hi, I am trying to use the logical height in drawing for my game but I get two different sizes. The code:


    Screen = gideros.class(Sprite)
    S_HEIGHT = application:getLogicalHeight()
    function Screen:init(lvl)
    print("application:getLogicalHeight()="..application:getLogicalHeight())
    print("S_HEIGHT="..S_HEIGHT)


    should print the same value for both prints but instead prints:


    application:getLogicalHeight()=960
    S_HEIGHT=480


    The properties of my game specify the logical coordinates of 480x320

    Any ideas?

      When I run this code...
       
Screen = gideros.class(Sprite)
S_HEIGHT = application:getLogicalHeight()
function Screen:init(lvl)
print("application:getLogicalHeight()="..application:getLogicalHeight())
print("S_HEIGHT="..S_HEIGHT)
end
s = Screen.new()
      ...it gives me two identical values; I haven't found how to make it fail like your example. Are you running the latest version...? Incidentally I thought gideros.class had been deprecated in favour of Core.class. You might also consider "getContent" instead of "getLogical" to take account of orientation.

      @BJG Thanks for that. I created a new project and the results were identical. After searching around my code I found a "setLogicalDimensions" statement which was setting it. Don't know when I put that in there :).
