I'm running on PC, 1024x768 window, however, the game has bars on the sides, and it appears to be in portrait mode, instead of landscape mode. I used the agk command to tell me what mode it is in, and the function returned the value that corresponds with portrait mode. So how do I get the game to go into landscape mode on PC?

What does the Setup.agc file show for your resolution?

I'm using Tier 2, not Tier 1, so I don't think I'm referencing the agc file, am I?

Go in Core.cpp and adjust lines 16 and 17

That's what I thought too. However, if I change it to 1024x768, I get bars on both sides (I colored them a dark red so you can see the issue...)

On the other hand, if I make it square (768x768), the vertical lines are gone...but I have a square, which isn't going to work so well with iOS-like devices.

In Tier 1 you need to use SetDisplayAspect() in your source, should be something similar in Tier 2.

In your case: SetDisplayAspect( 1024.0/768.0 )

Nope, 4/3 should work. But just check with my example just in case.

Do you have problems with other AppGameKit programs?

Be careful of integer math, 4/3 equals 1 which produces a square, 4.0/3.0 is 1.33333 which is what you want.

You can also use SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 ) which does away with the need for setting the aspect ratio manually.

ugh...integer math vs. float math...what I was doing was turning the resulting 4/3 value into a float.

What's 4/3 using integer division? 1!

So I have been passing 1.0 this entire time.

Now to re-sizing/re-placing all of my assets!
