Legacy GM [SOLVED] Surface resize

[marasovec]

I'm trying to resize application_surface so it looks more and more pixelated but it doesn't seem to do anything
I guess I'm just missing something obvious

CREATE EVENT:

surf = -1;
w = 800;
h = 600;

DRAW EVENT:

if !surface_exists(surf)
    {
    surf = surface_create(surface_get_width(application_surface), surface_get_height(application_surface));
    surface_copy(surf, 0, 0, application_surface);
    }
else
    {
    if w > 8 w--;
    if h > 6 h--;
    surface_resize(surf, w, h);
 
    draw_surface_stretched(surf, view_xview[0], view_yview[0], 800, 600);
    }

(application_surface is enabled)

My suggestion
CREATE

surf = -1;
w = view_wview;
h = view_hview;

DRAW

if !surface_exists(surf)
{
    surf = surface_create(surface_get_width(application_surface), surface_get_height(application_surface));
}
else
{
    if w > 8 w--;
    if h > 6 h--;
   
    surface_resize(surf, w, h);
    surface_set_target(surf);
    draw_clear_alpha(0, 0.0);
    draw_surface_stretched(application_surface, 0, 0, w, h);
    surface_reset_target();
    draw_surface_stretched(surf, view_xview, view_yview, view_wview, view_hview);
}

Or alternitavely, just resize the application surface.

EDIT - Wait, I think I misunderstood what you're trying to accomplish. Are you trying to create a zoom effect or pixelate everything that is on the app surface?

Application surface is the one surface you never have to check exists. You can even resize it right at the start before drawing happens, as it remembers this size for the first time it's used.

Also not sure why you're copying the app surface. Just issue a resize, and it'll resize next draw frame.

Pixelate everything
