i have done reading it. I am not new to basic programming, im just new to mobile game programming.. and currently first thing that im still figuring out is how to make the mobile game to be full screen on different mobile devices, because mobile devices have different resolutions.

I think I posted somewhere else on this topic...

Resolution is not an issue. You set the virtual resolution - SetVirtualResolution() - and AppGameKit will scale it to fit any device.

The only issue is if you do not want black bars on devices that have a different aspect ratio to the one you designed for. For example watching a cinematic film on a TV gives you black bars top and bottom, because it was designed for a much wider aspect.
In this case, use the command SetScissor(0,0). This will remove the black bars, and extend the play area to fit the full screen. Just remember that when something goes off-screen, it may still be visible on devices with a different aspect. Therefore, make sure they are still presentable within the margins of your screen.

Try this code first. It is a screen size of 1024 x 768. The virtual resolution is wider and shorter, so you get 2 black borders, simulating what might happen on different phones.

Then run it a second time, but uncomment the setScissor() line. Now you have no borders.
To make this work, my white background sprite had to be bigger than the default screen size, so that it would cover any area exposed by the setScissor() action.
