Screen resolution "survey"

Posted by rockyran on Jan. 2, 2008, 10:54 a.m.

Yeah, oh my god, wtfzomgpancakes, RockyRan's doing a post. Let's get all funky and throw parties. Or let's not remember me and let's not.

I'm gonna get down to business and ask a question that I actually need answering. What's the top resolution of your monitor? I need this answered because the game I'm doing needs quite a bit of screen room to for it to work, but I just don't know what the standard max is so that those with the lowest don't get shafted and don't get to play the game. That or I can downscale the game for those with a lower than usual resolution and it'll look like crap, but I'll see what I'll do once I get a few responses regarding screen size.

In another note, what have I been doing with myself? Well, anything but GM. To be quite honest, I'm picking GM up for no real reason for no real amount of time. I plan to make a puzzle game (the screen res thing is having to do with the game), but I really have no future plans or anything. As for Project F-60, I have no idea. I may finish it, I may not. Depending on what mood I am, I may decide that not finishing it will be a waste and I may go crazy and finish it in like a day. Or I may say "Screw that" and never touch it again. I really don't know.

'Neways, you came for a survey, you got an update on my GM life. Gee, what a deal.

My current max is..1280x1024.

I'd say that's the average person's max, so yeah.

I think my max is 1360x1024, but that's odd so I use 1280x1024.

My max res is 1280x1024, but I HATE games that change my resolution.

Most people use 1024x768, which is what I use. Next is about 1280x1024, then something like that, and then 800x600. After that they are random large sizes of different ratios. I know this because my site hits tracker records everything for the visitors.

1024x768 is the recommended max, cause some people even with bigger screens choose 1024x768 sometimes.

Mine's 1280*1024 as well. And, unless someone shows up with a C-C-COMBO BREAKER, that's probably your best bet.

1280x1024, at home an' work. But I suggest going with 1024x768.
