Hello there!

I want my game to be played in different devices in browser.

So, What do you advise?

So, I decided to change html-code and css generated by GM manually. But there are several difficulties with resizing canvas element and keeping aspect ratio. And I will try to pass them.

A technique that I've been using is to make the room size some arbitrarily large value like 1960x1080 then using window_center() to place the canvas in the centre of the browser, making it essentially fullscreen. Then you can use room_width, room_height, browser_width and browser_height to find the coordinates of the top left corner of the screen and place objects relative to that, for example:

STEP EVENT:
window_center();
x0 = max(0, (room_width - browser_width) / 2);
y0 = max(0, (room_height - browser_height) / 2);

I'm a total noob here, I don't quite understand what x0 and y0 are.
