Title: Quick Question
Post by: johnno56 on June 26, 2019, 09:12:12 pm
If on the off chance that I create a useful game etc. would it be possible, for those of you that are using laptops, to find out the the minimum and maximum screen resolutions? I don't need any other PC info. Just screen sizes. If not, perhaps indicate one of the three 'old style' standards? 640x480 or 800x600 or 1024x768?

Thank you.

Max 1920x1080 and min 1280×720 here (I have an LCD TV for monitor).

Whatever you do, don't force fullscreen on your users.

Hi Johnno,

Another 1366 x 768 here (probably), I use left side for task bar to Windows tools so 1200 x 700 more comfortable.

800 x 600 is great size, if don't need panoramic views.

I agree with Fellippe, don't force full screen on your users, make it an option.

I would make the game have a base size of 640x480. that way it doesn't use up max real estate on somebodies screen. then add the option of larger screen sizes. I managed this with my SIMON game, to a limited extent, by scaling everything.

One easy tip:  Add $RESIZE:SMOOTH at the top of your code, and then allow the user to scale it to whatever is suitable for their system.
