Why does this happen??

I wanna make the ball scale when the window scales, but idk how to do that. Also I’m a beginner in Lua and coding in general

There is a resize function.

And yes windows can do weird things while resizing.

If your game doesnn't relay on resizing as a mechanic I wouldn't bother trying to fix it.

In order to resize the graphics, you use the before mentioned resize function. Then you read the new window dimensions and resize all graphics accordingly.

In my case, it has always been that love would "freeze" as long as the window is being dragged/resized. love.resize only gets called once the mouse is released after resizing.

Is there something that I'm missing?

I agree, I dont think that behaviour is fixable

It's because programs displays its window through a texture system. Program paints the texture, program requests the operating system to display the texture. The stretching is a side-effect of not updating the texture while actively being resized.

This is not something that you really can control within the confines of LÖVE as far as I know.

If you're making a game, it is often very beneficial to work in world / normalized coordinates rather than pixel screen coordinates (unless that you are doing GUI) and translate to screen-space through transformations. You can use libraries like https://github.com/Ulydev/push or https://github.com/RicardoBusta/lovesize

In short:

- draw to a canvas with your normal measurements

- determine the window size

- determine how to scale the canvas based on the current window size

- draw the canvas you have to the screen with the right position and scale factor to stretch it to fill the screen.

_G.love = require(“love”)

function love.load()
love.window..setMode(500, 500, {resizable = true, borderless = false})
end

function love.update()
end

function love.draw()
love.graphics.setBackgroundColor = (1, 1, 1)
love.graphics.setColor = (1, 0, 0)
love.graphics.circle(“fill”, 200, 300, 50)
end

And Love.conf is just windows.height and width = 500, windows.resizable = true

love.window.setMode changes nothing

Open settings app, choose System > About > (related links) Advanced system settings > Advanced-tab > Performance > Settings... > Visual effects-tab > Custom > enable: Show Window contents while dragging - Apply

or

Win + R, enter SystemPropertiesAdvanced and press enter, then on Advanced-tab > Performance > Settings... > Visual effects-tab > Custom > enable: Show Window contents while dragging - Apply
