Online Presentation Mode

Let projects finally work online in presentation mode put a board icon by every project so that you can view it in presentation mode. At least taking out some of the lag.

Actually, I don't think presentation mode would help reduce lag that much in online mode: I think one of the only things slowing it down is just because it's online, and the Java player isn't the fastest. So making it full-screen wouldn't help much. While offline, though, what's slowing it down is the whole script pane and everything that's not necessary while viewing the project, but is while making it. Presentation mode disables these things, so they are no longer a factor, which makes it faster. I just don't think making it fullscreen would help that much.

On the other hand, presentation mode would make the games a lot more immersive, so I support.

I know, I hate looking at those little applets online.

Re: Online Presentation Mode

By presentation mode,I hope you mean full screen otherwise there would be technical difficulties

Re: Online Presentation Mode

Like fullscreen YouTube? That would be awesome! But it wouldn't necessarily boost performance!

Fullscreen helps make the projects more exciting...  smile

I support, even though I don't find it entirely necessary.  big_smile

Re: Online Presentation Mode

This is a cool idea. But it would change nothing on the lag...
