Fullscreen is part of childsplay from day 1.
See childsplay --help

Python childsplay --fullscreen

But be aware that using pygame in fullscreen totally screws with dual monitor setups.

Anyway, this seems more a bug in unity desktop. (Which is discontinued by Ubuntu)

I have managed to work around the issue by changing the startup files so that the Unity launcher defaults to full screen

/usr/games/childsplay

#! /usr/bin/python
import imp, sys, os
(mod_file,mod_path,mod_desc) = imp.find_module('childsplay')
sys.path.insert(1, mod_path)
import SPBasePaths
SPBasePaths.BASEDIR=mod_path
os.chdir(mod_path)
#add this line to default to fullscreen
sys.argv = ['/usr/games/childsplay','--fullscreen']
execfile('childsplay.py')


Maybe easier to just document a way like this for users than to code a real-time switch in the app.  I will leave it up to your experience on the app to do whats best.

The fullscreen option for Childsplay is not implemented in app so any install from repo will not ever have the option wheras a command line hackwill make it work this is not feasible for a childrens app.

Please can the config options within the app allow fullscreen or a very clear outline in the documentation of how to change a config file parameter to default to fullscreen much the same way gcompris does.

Using Ubuntu 16.04 with edubuntu packages, gcompris and childsplay for a 5yr old to learn on.
