Hi.

I want make a game for ios and android. but i want build once for all platforms(ios, android).

I search in google and find somethings about ios resolution like below link:

http://www.iosres.com/

I know Androind resolution is (1280 x 800) and according to top link, maximum resolution for ios is (2048 x 1536).

with this knowledge I need know can I use (2048 x 1536) resolution for make android and ios games?

Thanks.

You don't need to worry about the resolution of the device really, you need to think about how you handle the aspect ratio. For example some devices are wider than others.

I normally use a virtual resolution that is more or less the same across all devices, so using your example sizes I would make my game 1024x768 for a device that is 2048x1536 and 1024x640 on a device that is 1280x600. Then I would scale sprites based on the width (1024) to ensure that physics and movement values are consistent across devices.

I hope that helps!

how to do it?

if directly I use 2048x1536 resolution for all devices (ios, android), there is any problem?

Well if you use a set scale then your app will stretch / squash on some devices which can look bad but that's up to you.

If you keep a constant width or height (such as 1024) then using a hard coded (fixed) size for all sprites will keep things behaving consistently IE. Physics. That way you don't have to calculate the physics scale for example which is a pain to get just right!

@baxslash

can you give me simple example that how to rescale sprite on across devices?
Note: I use Percentage system for my games.

I set my setup.agc to (1024 * 768) and used SetDisplayAspect( -1 ) in my project.

Thanks

Are you allowing screen rotation to change between landscape and portrait? Or are you setting up your app for strictly one or the other full time?

Why would you set your aspect to -1? Wouldn't a new device be 1.5 to 1.7 ish?
