• Title: Resolution Adapting Example
• Description: Changes the View according to the desktop resolution. Which allows Widescreen resolutions.

• Additional Information:

Are you annoyed when you have a widescreen (laptop or not) with a resolution of 1280x800 or even 1920x1080? This example shows how to have your game change to the desktops resolution, and how to draw the hud accordingly. No credit is needed, I just want to see more games use this method!

3 Days and still no reply?

Might sound funny, but the "large" size of the file might be putting people off...
typically .gmks clock in at much much smaller sizes - maybe some think it's a virus or something.

Anyway, nice example.
I wanted to do something like this for a game I'm working on...
so it's nice to see the code there.
Would be nicer yet if you included something in it that was more typical of an actual game:
(ie: center the view on an a character/object).

Anyway thanks for the reply

Doesnt work when I put it in my topdown engine, the letters are still distorded and the mouse positions are screwed up.

Set the room and view sizes to a very large number. And enable the first View.

Make sure you have this script in your Create or Room Start Event:

global.resolution_w = display_get_width()
global.resolution_h = display_get_height()
view_wview[0] = global.resolution_w
view_hview[0] = global.resolution_h
view_wport[0] = global.resolution_w
view_hport[0] = global.resolution_h
window_set_region_size(global.resolution_w,global.resolution_h,true)

I can try the first suggestion, the second one I already have offcourse

Thank you so much for example!!

Thank you very much, I will be using this in my game.

*Problem is solved.*

First I want to say sorry for bumping this but the author haven't logged in almost 1 year. I examined both examples very carefully and followed everything to add this to my game, but I have 1 problem - the zone to click my buttons is not where it has to be. I mean that I have to click like 1-2cm above the button to use it. My room size is 800x600, I tried to change it and the view to 4000, but it only made it worse.

Thank you. This is a very helpful example for doing something I have wondered about for quite some time now.
