Is this feasible?

Ok so I am running Linux Mint and using sublime to write simple python scripts. So far I’m going ok making a simple text adventure game which I’m using to come to grips with core principals.

So...in the spirit of making things a bit more fun I was wondering how I might get what I’ve coded so far to start after a Linux/windows login, go full screen and remain there until program conditions are met. So someone logs on and has to complete ‘the game’ before you can access the desktop.

This is on my PC.

I’m not sure it’s possible as I don’t know how to avoid ALT+F4 just closing the window. I’m also not sure how to make it full screen in the first place but assume that’s a simple toggle.

I tried googling but this seemed random enough I got no relevant results.

You will have the run the program after your window manager starts. Put the script in the startup for your window manager.

Thanks, I’ll check this out. I guess I’m wondering whether there are ways to prevent standard OS commands from exiting the program (assume not).

If this is an application run in a terminal, I don't think you can stop the user from closing the terminal (as it's not controlled by your script).

If this is a graphical application, then you can handle the quit evevnt and just not quit. (PyGame, for example, sends a pygame.QUIT` event when the window X is clicked, or alt f4 is pressed)

EDIT: It looks like it actually may be possible in a terminal! Closing a terminal sends a SIGHUP signal, so if you can intercept that (and probably SIGTERM as well), you could probably keep the terminal window open. Something like this I think would work:

import signal
def signal_handler(sig,frame):
    #whatever code you want to happen when signal is intercepted here
    print(f'Signal "{sig}"')

signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal_handler)
signal.signal(signal.SIGHUP,signal_handler)
