Hello

I have a variable in my game which I set to "mobile" or "pc" depending on whether I am testing my game on which device. Is there a way to auto-detect if the game is running on a PC or Mobile device?

Thanks.

GetDeviceBaseName

Returns a string containing the name of the current platform. This will only refer to the base platform, i.e. "windows", "ios", "android", "mac", or "blackberry". Use GetDeviceType to get more information about the specific device. This string will always be lower case.

GetDeviceType

Returns a string containing a device specific string, this will be different for each platform, for example on Windows it will return the OS version "vista, "7", "xp", etc. On iOS it will return the iOS device name "ipad1,1", "ipod2,1", "iphone1,2", etc. For Android it will return the device model "nexus 7", etc. For Mac it will return the OS version "10.7", "10.8", etc. This string will always be lower case
