I'm working on a Flash game after many, many years. I'm trying to figure out size to make my application run (eg. 600x800). Because it's a tall (not wide) game, I'm confused.
I know about (and love) the Steam hardware stats. However, for Flash gaming, I have two nit-picks with their survey sample:
1) Caters to more hardcore gamers with better hardware (overall) 2) Captures only a subset of Flash gamers. Doesn't capture people who play at school, work, etc. or not netbooks and lighter machines.
Are there any sort of statistics I can use to determine which size to use? Ideally, I would like to know something like:
- 800x600 will fit 94% of users screens
- 1024x768 will fit 74% of users screens
- 1200x960 will fit 53% of users screens
- etc.
