HI! I was wondering, since my game will go on multiple computers all with different resolutions, is there a way to stretch all the pictures so they fit? (e.g an 800x600 back ground on a 1600x1200. Is there a way to stretch the picture?)

TY in advanced and if u need me to explain anything else feel free to let me know!

LOL

if it works on your computer than itll work on all(should) or to be sure you could set a resolution that is generally compatible with all moniters (e.g dbSetDisplayMode(800,600,32); )

if(You.AddCode.toPost)TGC.Users.CanHelp = true;
else return NoCodeMessage;

If you make a sprite out of the picture, you can use dbStretchSprite or dbSizeSprite to scale it. However, the picture will be distorted if the X/Y ratio of the new resolution is different. You may try to calculate the new size with a fixed X/Y ratio, at the price that parts of the picture will overflow the screen (like when you zoom a traditional TV picture onto a wide-screen monitor).

There are functions to query the current desktop resolution on the user's computer. Recent Dark GDK versions should contain the commands dbDesktopWidth() and dbDesktopHeight(), but you can use Windows functions as well: GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) and GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN).
