Just curious, lots of people ask if things can be windowed. Why is that? Is there a special reason why you would want to play something in a small window instead? I guess if you had a nice background or something, I have no idea...

I dunno why you'd wanna do it in Lugaru, but in other bigger games like
WoW (which can be switched between the two with cmd-m VERY fast)
it's a very nice feature. What if you wanna check [whateverontheinterweb] without quitting, leaving your group doing an instance.
Maybe turn on iTunes, check E-Mail, whatever.

Because you might want to see if you have any IMs, or pause and check something without having to end your game.

Or you just have a so bad computer that it can't handle fullscreen.

(Everybody knows that 1280x990 (990 = gotta see the starmenu and stuff, you know) windows runs a lot more smoothly than 1280x1024 fullscreen)

You could run fullscreen at 640x480..?

But that's just plain ugly!

we could also like to run it fullscreen because this kind of game can make some people like sea sick, so it's better to run it in a small window

Hopefully, it's possible to start the game in a window by running the binary with the "-windowed" option.

NECRO'D!

Well, on most windows desktops, you can press the flag button (in between alt and control, or alt and fn) to see your desktop instead of quitting. IDK what its official name is, but thats what I call it in my head.

You can play the Windows version on Linux with Wine and a virtual desktop.

Edit: Even more crazyness: You can install andLinux on Windows: http://www.andlinux.org/
Then run andLinux
Install Wine in andLinux
Run the Windows version of Lugaru in andLinux with Wine
Boom

Ooor you can just do this. Go to the Lugaru.exe and right click> create shortcut. Rename that desktop shortcut to Lugaru. Right click on the icon and > properties. Change the target file to wherever you have Lugaru stored/Lugaru.exe -windowed

That's all.

Even if it couldn't before, now you can code it in
