I have a 1920 X 1200 monitor. I'm wanting to code my game to be 1920x1080. So, I want "full screen" on the width but not quite full screen on the height. I don't want AppGameKit however stretching my graphics to occupy the full height of 1200. Is it possible to use full screen mode like this so I don't have any windows or stretching?

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you should be able to just use the combination of:



You will get black bars (letterboxing) instead of stretching.

i think if you mess with the setup file for your app... you should beable to change the screen resolution for windows at least? i think anyways.... and have the full screen flag set to 1 and the virtual res to 1920,1080 as well.

The code I posted does the same, but without the need for an extra file... with v2, there's actually no need for a setup file anymore.

Actually, I can't get a setup file to work at all on Mac in V2...

i just did a quick test. so on windows it will infact change the window sized resolution. Going to full screen however defaults to your current screen resolution (just playin around with the setup file)

I would very much like to get a mac now that it has an ide/compiler
