Hi, What screen resolution would you recommend for an android game?
I mean the resolution i shall make all images and stuff for. I know i need to scale it when i install it on the phone/pad.

I think they are making 4K screens now so 3840 × 2160 is probably suggested. You need to be careful because there is a size limit

4k is really bad advice. The vast majority of Android phones are running at 720-1080p with a few high end 1440p devices and a few bleeding edge devices with 4k.
You should probably target 1080p, or have multiple assets for 1440, 1080, and 720.

Make your app work on ALL resolutions and "scale" the things you draw. This is how they do it in the ROBLOX engine which is what i am going to call it.
Not to be confused with love.graphics.scale as it is not the same
Heres a basic example of scaling:
Code: Select all
function love.load()
love.window.setMode(0,0,{resizable = true,vsync = false}) --setting the size to 0,0 will set it to the complete size of your screen
windowX,windowY = love.graphics.getDimensions()
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.print("Example",(windowX*.5),(windowY*.5)) -- Prints the text in the middle of the screen (to make it perfect you must subtract half the X and half the Y or even more)
end
function love.update()
windowX,windowY = love.graphics.getDimensions() -- updates the dimensions every frame
end

That code has nothing to do with scaling. You're just positioning things relative to the size of the screen.
