the embed bge has its own DisableForText() routine which prepares the GL flags for the text render.
For some reason blenderplayer is taking a slim approach and going straight for the rendering. This routine helps to address this bug/case (non reported, foundin my own project files). If need arises we should move this to its own routine incorporating the other GL tests the embed bge performs.
- Mipmaps are generated in BLF when drawing text in-game. In that case, padding around each glyph is increased to prevent bleeding.
- Texture filtering is turned on for in-game text.
- All glyphs are now "twisted": the leading edge is brought a small distance forward, to prevent z-fighting in overlapping (kerned) glyphs. This happens both in the game engine and the rest of the UI, but should have no effect in the UI due to Z-compression in the clipping matrix.
Reviewed and approved by bdiego; see patch [#29882] in the tracker. Tested by dfelinto.
Description:
This patch allows the user to change the size of the window (or the resolution in fullscreen mode) using the new bge.render.setWindowSize() method. This only works in the Blenderplayer since it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the embedded player.

Notes:
======
* we replaced fullscreen by playerflag in DNA_scene.types.h. So no doversion here, I think this is a small reversion can't see any potential problem in forcuing users to re-check fullscreen. If the file is really old (<250) it will doversion though;
* (for after commit) it would be nice to gray out the width/height when desktop=True
* for a rainy day: it would be nice to have other ghost modes (e.g. screensaver) to support desktop + MSAA as well. It's not a huge deal given that I don't even know if anything else work (apart from windowed, fullscreen and embed) but it doesn't hurt to have it updated as well.
* there is something strange with outliner. I think space_outliner merge-info is not in sync with the ^/ folder. It's probably a wrong merge early in cucumber.
Commit Logs:
===========
# 40845 by dfelinto
remove desktop and fullscreen properties. They are both part of playerflag now
also I removed the fullscreen from the DNA completely. I don't think we need doversion that..
#39045 by kupoman
The Desktop option is now greyed out when fullscreen is not checked rather than disappearing from the UI completely.
#38973 by kupoman
Adding a checkbox to the UI to allow the full screen Blender Player to use the current desktop resolution instead of the resolution setting.
#38970 by kupoman
Multisampling now works in a fullscreen Blender Player.
#38968 by moguri
Committing a patch from Mitchell Stokes (Moguri) to include a setting in the UI for the Blenderplayer multisampling.
- replace calls to BLF_width & BLF_height --> BLF_width_and_height
- no need to call strlen() on length value passed to BLF_draw(). this already checks for \0 char.
---------------------------------------------------------------
This was a test drive to see how painful the merge will be.
Next batches are:
- use desktop option for fullscreen
- multisampling option
- bullet collision mask
- python
- storage (vbo, dl, ...)
- lighting
[lighting still needs review]
[python could use review, although it should be straightforward]
[storage should be tested more I think]

36991:
==UI==
* Made some options available in Blender Game that were only available in Blender Render (camera resolution, animation fps)
* Created a panel for the embedded player
* Renamed the FPS option for the standalone player to Refresh Rate
* Moved framing options to display
* Made a button to launch the blender player from within blender (only tested on windows for now)
37059:
==UI==
* Added the option to change the exit key for the BGE. The UI currently just sets a number, and this feature most likely does not work for blenderplayer yet. More work on this to come.
* Removed the physics settings from the scene panel for the BGE.
* Added an Add menu in the logic brick header.
37157:
Making the bake options available in Blender Game
37416:
Making the exit key UI element accept key presses instead of numbers. It still does not work for the Blenderplayer, and it does not limit the input to key presses (other events don't work for exiting)
37497:
Some more work on getting the exit key to work in the Blenderplayer.
Input is now restricted to keyboard events only for the exit key UI.
37498:
Some clean up from the last commit.
The exit key setting affects the Blenderplayer now.
37499:
Cleaning up some duplicate code. Now the reverseTranslateTable for converting blender key codes to ketsji key codes is only defined in BL_BlenderDataConverter.
37501:
Centralizing the exit key methods to the keyboard devices. This should make it easier to get exit key control to the python API.
[37517: committed previously]
37522:
Moved control of the exit key away from the keyboard devices, and moved it to ketsjiengine.
Added setExitKey and getExitKey to the python API
39036:
A couple of the doversions were in the wrong spot. This should fix some issues with the exit key not being set.

Game Actuator (restart or load a new file) will not keep some settings alive (as
we had in 2.49).
In 2.49 the solution used was to use Blender globals (G.fileflags) to get/set
those settings. That was causing the blender file to change if you change the
material mode from the game.
In 2.5 this never worked, and the implementation was buggy (it's relying in the
scene settings, which get reset ever time we restart/load a new file).
My idea for fixing this is to create a new struct (GlobalSettings) where we
store any setting to be preserver during the course of the game. This is
specially important for options that require the game to restart/load new file
(graphic ones). But it later can be expanded to support other things such as
audio settings (e.g. volume), ...
I'm also planning to expand it for stereo and dome settings, but I prefer to
first get this committed and then build a new patch on top of that.
I had some problems in finding a correct way for build/link the blenderplayer
changes, so although it's working I'm not sure this is the best code (e.g. I
couldn't make forward declaration to work in GPG_Application.h for the struct
GlobalSettings so I ended up including KX_KetsjiEngine.h)
[note: I talked with Brecht and he find this is an ok solution. He implemented
it originally so it's good to have his go. However I still think there must be a way to make forward declaration to work. I will see with other devs if there is a better solution]
[also I'm likely renaming glsl to flags later if there are more settings stored in the flags to be used. But for now we are only handling glsl flags]
This patch adds anisotropic filtering of textures in the viewport and the BGE. The quality of the filtering is adjustable in the user preferences under System. For more information on anisotropic filtering:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_filtering
One current limitation of this setup (having the option a user preference) is it makes runtimes more troublesome. Runtimes don't have user preferences set, so for now the blender player defaults to 2x AF. Options will be added later to change this value (probably a command line option).
