Hello,

So I am having a bit of trouble with this. I am trying to have my app fit the screen in landscape more for all phones with the app.

Here is my code:


Cheers.

I use the SetVirtualResolution() command and then the SetScissor() to get rid of the black borders. I then use the GetScreenBoundsBottom() etc and save the extreme boundaries of the screen and position everything according this.

Or you can use the percentage based system.

I tend not to get too worried what the actual resolution of the devices screen is, other than to make sure that things are too illegible on low res screens.

i would try to get the display aspect with GetDeviceWidth() & GetDeviceHeight()
then transform it
so 16:9 is SetVirtualResolution(160,90) (instead of 100x100) or SetVirtualResolution(1600,900)
+ limit to landscape only.
the gui must align itself if the screen is 4:3 or 1:1 ...
its between 0,0 and GetVirtualWidth,GetVirtualHeight

I figured it out. The command sometimes didn't get height and width in the right mode so you have to double check it. This code works:



Now I'm wondering where I can get some 2D cartoon artists for my game.
