Mac Demo - Couple of Minor Issues

Post by Farmerharv »

After getting the iPad version I thought I'd see how Battle Academy plays with a mouse and keyboard, and while it's even better on the big screen (for now, until the Retina update is out :) )there are a couple of little problems I've found...

1) When using the mouse to scroll the map, it won't scroll if the mouse is in the upper 7/8 of the right side of the screen. The mouse will often also "stick" along the right side of the screen if it is moved to the edge. Keyboard scrolling works fine, as do all other directions with the mouse.

2) If I Cmd+Tab away from BA, there is a blank light grey window on the desktop which will cover the game screen if clicked on, and can't be removed or moved to the background. If the little red X in the upper left corned is clicked right away though, it goes away with no ill effects that I have seen.

3) The music continues to play even if the game is minimized.

Can you tell me what version of OSX you are running on, and the kind of Mac. I'll take a look at these things. I've not had the scrolling issue reported before. The background window I have, but can't repeat here with either SL or Lion.

Cheers

Ah, just figured out the scrolling/sticking. I have dual monitors, and whichever side I specify the second monitor to be on, is the side that won't scroll. If I arrange them so just the corners are touching though, there is just the one small spot that it's an issue.

Thanks Pip!

Ah - it's a common issue with fullscreen games and multimon setups, both on Windows and Mac.

Thanks for the info.

Cheers
