iPhone 4 resolution

karuzo

Hello,
Newbie here with gamesalad. Forgive me as I'm sure this HAS been asked before, but the answers all around confuse me.
When I start a new project and check 'Resolution Indepence', this would mean the game will run properly on iphone 4 screen in term of graphics.

1. When I enter into a scene attribute, why would it indicate display size of 480x320, which is not retina?
2. In such case do I need to resize the display size of 960x640? You would think if you checked 'Resolution Independence' it would know to start a scene at 960x640.

Thanks,
Doron

@karuzo u r doing it the right way, the size of the scenes will remain as 480x320 and u would not change it , all u have to worry about is the size of ur graphic so for example u must use a 960x640 background.

Thanks marwanbarakat. So if I want to place background I will need to import it at 960x640 and resize it after 'dropping' the background actor onto the scene? Is there an accurate way of manipulating the background actor's size?

Thanks,
Doron

@karuzo if u import a background with 960x640 pixels and then drag it to ur scene with resolution independence checked , then u wont have to resize it , it will be the same size as ur scene

Great. Thanks for clarifying.
