Fixes issue #45 where the application window would no longer be resizable after toggling fullscreen mode with F11.

Problem

When users pressed F11 to toggle fullscreen mode, the application would crash with an AttributeError because SimulationScreen was calling self.initializeGameDisplay() on line 365, but this method didn't exist in the class. This prevented the fullscreen toggle functionality from working entirely.

Even if the method existed, the window would lose its resizable property when exiting fullscreen mode because the pygame display wasn't being reinitialized with the correct flags.

Solution

Added the missing initializeGameDisplay() method to the SimulationScreen class that:

  • Properly reinitializes the pygame display based on the current fullscreen configuration
  • Sets pygame.FULLSCREEN flag when entering fullscreen mode
  • Sets pygame.RESIZABLE flag when returning to windowed mode
  • Safely handles window caption updates only when simulation is initialized
def initializeGameDisplay(self):
    """Reinitializes the game display, typically used when toggling fullscreen mode."""
    if self.__config.fullscreen:
        self.__graphik.gameDisplay = pygame.display.set_mode((self.__config.displayWidth, self.__config.displayHeight), pygame.FULLSCREEN)
    else:
        self.__graphik.gameDisplay = pygame.display.set_mode((self.__config.displayWidth, self.__config.displayHeight), pygame.RESIZABLE)
    
    # Only update caption if simulation is initialized
    if hasattr(self, 'simulation') and self.simulation is not None:
        self.__initializeCaption()

Testing

  • All existing tests continue to pass (50/50)
  • Manual testing confirms F11 fullscreen toggle now works correctly
  • Window maintains resizable property after exiting fullscreen mode
  • No regressions in existing functionality

This fix ensures users can seamlessly toggle between fullscreen and windowed modes while preserving proper window behavior.
