okay, this will allow you want to make your game in a resolution of 800 by
600, or greater if you so desire.
what you need :
The Display DLL, download it in your game folder (it has to be named
Display.dll) and the following script

#==============================================================================
# ** Resolution Revised
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Original version by Selwyn (June 19, 2006)
# Revisions by DerVVulfman (February 18, 2014)
#
# The original version allowed you to change the resolution to 800x600.
# The revision allows that, or a resolution of 1024x768.
#
#
# To Use:
# ========
# Place a copy of the display.dll in your project's root directory.
# Paste this script into your project.
# Place the following call into 'Main' before the Graphics.freeze command:
# Resolution.initialize
# Insert the following into the loop of each update method for every scene
# command, so it overrides the default ALT+ENTER fullscreen toggle system:
# Resolution.update
#
# To choose your Resolution, go and edit the RES value, currently 0 or 1.
#
# NOTE: Other resolutions may now be possible.

Charlie's Arena uses this script. You can find the ddl inside the game's folder. About the demo, just follow the instructions, it's very simple to use, you don't really need one.
Apparently, what caused the .dll link to be missing is what caused an error in the code... breaking it apart. It must have occurred during the transfer from Hideout last year.
are widescreen, more particularly HD modes possible. 1280x720 and 1920x1080? Honestly im mainly looking to do 1680x1050 as thats what most monitors do right now.
actually, 1680x1050 is less then 10 percent of monitors on home computers. ( a lot of people re-use old monitors ) and most laptops are 1280x800 16:10, although there are a few 1280x960 16:9 laptops out there. The reason behind this is simple, many people simply reuse their old screens rather than buy new ones when they upgrade their old computers. What this equates to is this, if you want an accurate portrayal of screen sizes, look back about 5 years and see what was common then. The default resolution for XP was 1024x768 on the CRT monitors, and occasionally 1280x1024, at 4:3 ratios. If you look into wide screen monitors, you will find that the average widescreen was a LCD with a max resolution of 1280x800 16:10, and occasionally you would find 1280x960 16:9, just like our laptops. Now if you look specifically at the high-performance 3D gaming market, you will find the ratio's that you are talking about, but first you'll need to get them off of their 3D FPS and WoW accounts.
Now that said, if you still want to target those resolutions, this script, last I checked, should be able to do it with no issues, although I'm not sure how that will effect your games performance.
