View Full Version : Question on gameplay [WWP]

This may be a stupid question on my part, since I'm not as computer-savvy as I'd like to be, but is there a way to play WWP in any sort of capacity other than full-screen?

Meaning, is there a smaller window, something that I can be playing the game in and have, say, messenger windows up and viewable at the same time? Is it called 'safe mode', maybe, or am I thinking of something else?

I -love- my WWP, just...wish I could play it while talking to others on my messengers.

Sorry if this is a boneheaded question. :(

Sadly, it is not possible, due to the way that WWP works.

You could try running WWP in a virtual machine. There's some guides for W:A here (http://worms2d.info/Emulating_Worms_Armageddon), but I don't know how well will those work with WWP.

And how well your hardware will handle a virtual machine.

Can't some chat programs integrate with games and call up overlays and stuff (like Steam - even if you add a non-Steam game to your list, it'll let you use the overlay, it's quite helpful)? I'm not suggesting you get Steam, but can't some programs do that?

Otherwise, I'd go with CyberShadow's idea.

Somebody needs to develop a "Window Catcher" type application: it's a window of specified size, but captures fullscreen programs and hops them there.

That's the problem, I really can't download too much onto this old beater computer >.< And I agree, there -should- be a program like that :)
