AM games can't scale or adapt to different screen sizes. Even when in full screen the window size is the same, but just with a black border around it covering the rest of the screen area. Of coarse you can change the resolution with the ChangeDisplayResolution() function, but depending on your moniter nd hardware support some of the resolutions won't be supported, I.e. 640x480 won't work on giant super HD screens, and 1024x768 won't work on older hardware. I'm not completely certain about this so anyone wants to correct me if I'm wrong then feel free. But in most cases resolution shouldn't be an issue.

Hi ! Can't tell about widescreen - I had no problem with my game ASA - but resolution size CAN BE an issue. You can't use HD resolutions, which really was a problem for me.
It will depend on the kind of game you want to create. If you don't mind your project to have a "retro spirit", then you have access to all the resolutions you need, from 640 to 1024. But if you want to create a modern game with a proper 1920x1080 resolution, you'd better try another soft, or make a petition here :D I'll sign !

Thanks guys. I took a look at some of the games others have made and it's all cool. I'll be purchasing soon. The official game from users page is however not working.

Great, glad we could help, then !
Yes indeed the game page is dead, the admin is busy and coudln't fix it yet.
In the meantime, you can have a look at the previous games projects in the "New Games Announcements" forum. Most of the games are posted here sooner or later.
