When I set the size for the window, then maximize the window, everything gets stretched. I'm wondering if I could have my game full screen but have the the game in the middle of the window, 460 by 540. everything around it would be black. Attached Image is what this should look like. Done in paint

for full screen you can use:

dbSetWindowOff ( );

and then maybe set the resolution:

e.g. dbSetDisplayMode ( 800 , 600 , 32 );

to crop the area, maybe you can look at this:

dbSetCameraView
This command will set the viewport of the camera. The viewport is the actual area on screen where all 3D is drawn. The default viewport area is the entire screen, but can be specified using this command.

Syntax
void dbSetCameraView ( float fLeft, float fTop, float fRight, float fBottom )
void dbSetCameraView ( int iCamera, float fLeft, float fTop, float fRight, float fBottom )

What do "fLeft", "fTop", "fRight", and "fBottom" represent? I thought each point had an X/Y/Z not just one point? How do I get this function to work? Could someone please give an example.

Those 4 values specify the viewport, ie the rectangle where all the 3D rendering takes place. You only need 4 values to do this - the top left corner (fLeft, fTop) and the bottom right corner (fright, fBottom). These are also screen coordinates, not 3D points.

This game i'm creating is 2D not 3D. So how would I make the viewport 480 by 540 in the center of the screen. I still do not understand this.

i guess that you should still do a test with the viewport command. even though you are using 2d, i think dgdk draws all 2d as 3d planes internally.
