e.g.


x=100 : y = 100

SetWindowSize( x, y, 0 )

SetWindowPosition((GetMaxDeviceWidth()-x)/2,(GetMaxDeviceHeight()-y)/2)

I'm not sure this will work all the time though at the size you set it seemed at least on my screen to be centered though if you go bigger the height may become a problem with centering vertically.

Try


Again at your dimensions it seems centered but when I set it to 1920,1080 then the vertical centering doesn't work. So it may not work all the time.

Is there not any way to center the window no matter what Resolution? There's got to be a way. If Blitz3D can do it then so can AGK.

Thanks!

if the resolution it is trying to display is bigger than the screen can handle then no, you would need to adjust the resolution to fit inside the screen.
