retrieving game position

MoKaLux

how are you all doing?
Do you know guys how I can get the position of my game on the screen?
I know it's the second time I ask for it
In short I want to store the screen position so when the app quits I can restore it at the same position (like the gideros player).
I have tried this but it is not working for me!

--print(application:get("help")) --[[ Accepted value for Desktop's application:get() - [x,y] windowPosition - [w,h] windowSize - [w,h] screenSize - [x,y] cursorPosition - [text] clipboard - [text] windowTitle - [path] directory(where//help) - [path] openDirectoryDialog(title|path//help) - [path] openFileDialog(title|path|extensions//help) - [path] saveFileDialog(title|path|extensions//help) - [path] documentDirectory - [path] temporaryDirectory 0 ]] local x, y = application:get("windowPosition") print(x,y) -- 0, nil ??? print(application:get("windowPosition")) -- 0 ??? print(application:get("windowSize"), application:get("screenSize")) -- 0, 0 ??? application:set("windowPosition", 64, 64) -- THIS WORKS :-)

I don't understand how to use it
I also had a look at github https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/master/libgid/src/qt/platform-qt.cpp
And the wiki https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/Application:get
Thank you in advance for your help.
PS: tested with gideros player and exported win app.

Did you try this on a compiled game?

I tried it on a compiled game, but it always returns 0.

How would you center your game in the middle of the screen, please?

This is a test app that tries to implement it http://forum.giderosmobile.com/discussion/comment/61884/#Comment_61884

What do you mean by that?

@rrraptor suppose you have a game in windowed mode (ex: 640*480), how do you put the game in the center of the screen (ex: 1920*1080)?
By default the game position is 0,0 which is not professional
