Question about screen resolutions...

monascow

Hello, I have read about the various screen resolutions and aspect ratio and is it fine to pick a resolution of 720 x 480 over 640 x 480? I wasn't fond of the latter because I thought it looked cramped for the project I have. I am new in game development so I am not really sure.

Just depends on the game. Some retro aesthetic like 4:3 to keep the old style, but I agree it is cramped on modern displays.

I try to use resolutions that are commonly supported, but generally I use the given desktop resolution...

you can use the OS class to determine the mimimum and maximum supported resolutions.. os.get_max_window_size, will return a vector2(x,y) and os.get_min_window_size does the same but the minimum resolution

and ofc os.set_window_size(vector2) will set your resolution

a lot of information can be found here.
