Ok am new to AppGameKit and want to write a game for the Iphone but also to work on Andriod Devices, I hear the Iphone 4 is different resolution to Iphone 3GS. So what resolution do I start with that will work on all Mobile devices. I also want the game to be Lanscape only so what do I do to make this happen so when I plays on Mobile Devices it goes Landscape and cant be changed

The iPhone 4 has twice the visual resolution (called a Retina Display) as the iPhone 3 and iPad Touch. But it displays the iPhone 3 resolution images just fine.

My game is also meant to play in landscape only mode. The landscape resolution for the iPhone 3 is 960 by 640.

I am also testing my game on an Android device and it seems quite happy with that resolution.

You use the 'SetOrientationAllowed' command to force the game to stay in landscape mode, even when the device is turned.

Cheers,

use 960 x 640. this is the default res of the iphone 4 and 4s and latest gen of ipod touch.

on iphone 3gs and lower, agk will automatically half the res for you.

for android you might want to pic a different aspect ration screen size. there are so many different res there, that i gave up myself!

Why don't you use SetVirtualResouliton() instead, that will make it work on all screen sizes without having to port it...
