Is there a command in the BASIC language to get the resolution capacity of the device where a game is running? I have been reading the documentation and I do not find it. What I see is GetDeviceHeight and GetDeviceWidth, but such commands return the value of the actual resolution, not the one that is supported by the device.

For example, if my game is running on an iPhone, I would like to get that it supports a resolution of 960 x 640; or if my game is running on an iPad I would like to get that it supports a resolution of 1024 x 768.

Respectfully,
Jorge Maldonado

If you don't supply the resolution inside the config file, then these commands should report the actual resolution.

The SETUP.INI is merely for the Desktop apps which want to create a window at some point. For other platforms, just use GetDisplayWidth/GetDisplayHeight to know the actual resolution of the device, and then you can lay your app out according to that size as you see fit after calling SetVirtualResolution with those dimensions.

I drink tea, and in my spare time I write software.
