Cocos2d-Stretch Screen for iPad

[Gweetle]

I was wondering if there is a way to stretch the screen's view, from the iPhone size to the iPad size. I already know how to detect if the device is an iPad, and I was just hoping there is a way to stretch the whole screen without having to recode the way every single object is drawn.

If I understand correctly. You want to have an iPhone sized image use all of the background on an iPad.

There are ways to stretch the image, but I think you may be disappointed with the blurred or distorted results. I make individual images for iPhone, iPhone Retina (2X size of iPhone), and one for iPad. Then use your iPad check or isRetinaEnabled (on Cocos2D) to determine device and then which image to use.

However, maybe your image isn't really detailed, so here are some resizing options:

1) sprite.scale = 2.0; (scales the sprite to twice it's size)
2) sprite.scaleX = Value; (only scales the sprite in the x axis)
3) sprite.scaleY = Value; (only scales the sprite in the y axis)

Hope that helps!!

Are you looking to create a universal app so that it runs fullscreen on both the iPhone and iPad? If so, you should be able to simply use the "Upgrade Current Target to iPad" option within Xcode. Depending on the complexity of the app and features/controllers used, there may be some additional work required to ensure all elements work on both devices.
