<div class="desc"><p>Takes the game's window off the screen without closing it: its GL context or Vulkan surface, its size and its contents are kept, and the program goes on running — a hidden window does not end the run. <a href="app-window_show.html"><code>App.window_show</code></a> brings it back. It is how a launcher steps aside while the game it started with <a href="../process/process-spawn.html"><code>Process.spawn</code></a> runs.</p><p>Keep the frame loop going while hidden so the child can be polled, but there is nothing to see: skip the drawing, and throttle the loop yourself — a hidden window is not paced by the display, so an unthrottled loop spins. It does not touch the boot splash (<a href="app-splash_hide.html"><code>App.splash_hide</code></a> does). Safe to call when there is no window yet, and twice. Headless there is no window and the call lowers to nothing.</p><p>``<code>ludic skip
