cgs on real hardware

[sytzemeijer]

Does cgs also work on real hardware. And if it doesn't work what can I use.

Only VBECanvas is working on real hardware

[raphm4044]

and VGACanvas

[sytzemeijer]

where can i find its documentation?

[raphm4044]

it's a normal canvas

[raphm4044]

so you can use it like FullScreenCanvas.GetFullscreenCanvas()

@RaphMar2021 that was cgs

[raphm4044]

yes, VBECanvas & VGACanvas is a part of CGS

[sytzemeijer]

But what's the difference then?

[raphm4044]

nothing, just the driver behind it changes

[sytzemeijer]

And how should I use them.

[raphm4044]

like a normal canvas

[sytzemeijer]

[raphm4044]
