I want to commercially sell my game. How do I make it auto-detect resolution? I don't like messing with menus and stuff when I'm playing, and other don't either. If you can share some code (Blitz3D, btw) that would be awesome. Thanks!

I use:
DeskTopWidth()
DeskTopHeight()

I think you mean GadgetWidth(Desktop()) and GadgetWidth(Desktop())

nope, but that's another way. EpicElrod didn't mention anything about using gadgets

So DeskTopWidth() etc will do just fine :)

EpicElrod didn't mention anything about using gadgets

That's because he's epically using Blitz3D :-)

wrong forum btw.

Anyway, this is probably what your after. BlitzPlus has this built in with Desktop().

Ahhh... I just discovered that DeskTopWidth() e DeskTopHeight() exist even on Bmax! I always used GraphicsWidth()... probably I'm using only MaxGUI... or I'm gettin too older and my memory is getting worst :|
