Hello, i'm still a beginner in the world of AGK2, i'm trying to develop a game, i coded him for my samsung galaxy s6 with the screen and virtual resolutions of 768 x 1024, i finally take it to an acceptable and playable state, but...when i try to run it on a different device with the corresponding resolution i have problems like black borders, trying to changing will show zoomed and bigger sprites, empty portions of the screen etc...

How i can resolve all of this and make the game playable also on the other devices?

Any help will be very appreciated, thank you.

the problem is because not all devices have/support the same aspect ratio and if you set a specific resolution then AppGameKit will do it's best to fit that resolution into the screen (and any extra will become border).
the help file suggests to use
Quote: "The default approach for the coordinate system in AppGameKit is to use a percentage based system where 0,0 represents the top left corner and 100,100 the bottom right"

I try to change the virtual resolution and the screen resolution for matching the one of my galaxy tab (600x976) but i get unwanted proportions of the sprites and text, also text position is not the same, it's like moved to the right
