Hello

Just curious what the best resolutions would be for all the following?

- Window Games..... 640 x 480 windowed app maybe ok?

- Android Games???

- iOS iPA Games???

- HTML5

and if there is any commands or anyway I can:-

- Identify the OS

- Automatically setting the resolution width and height and aspect ratio from identifying the OS

It just so that I can make a game with one piece of code, which indeed changes the resolution automatically depending on the device
its running on

Any ideas or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

i would use at pc minimum full hd and for mobil minimum hd.
if u think about to use a zoom u need also hd content for 2d.
gamekit use a virtual resolution. SetVirtualResolution( iWidth, iHeight )
it can be 100x100 (they spoke about %) or 160x90 or 1600x900 or anything else u like.
a current problem is the different aspect ratios. but 4:3 (with borders) fit into a 16:9 screen.
see core commands for os infos:
