Setting Up Project For iPad Only

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

After performing quite a few forum searches, I have yet to find a solution. Basically I would like to know how to set up my project to be an iPad only game, so make the screen size 1024 x 768?

I have dabbed a little into dynamic content scaling and also seen a few config.lua methods that might help this issue. I have been reading over all the DOCS as well, but may have overlooked it. If I plan an iPad ONLY version, scaling is not needed, so if there a way to make it just 1024 x 768 default?

This would also help in making games that are made larger than the actual display and content view.

I may just need a simple explanation and hope I can find it here, or at least be directed to the proper source. Thanks in advance!

While I haven’t actually tried to make an iPad only game yet, I would assume that the way you would do this would be to set the width and height in the config.lua file to 1024 x 768. With that you will not need Dynamic Scaling, so you can just use iPad sized images and you’ll be good to go!

Hope that helps.

When you do your build, in the “Build for iPhone” dialog box selecting “iPad” for “Device Compatibility” instead of “iPhone” makes it an iPad-only app. I’ve only tested this with a first-Gen iPod Touch, but I think it’s true for later devices as well.
