Game Maker and LateralGM+Enigma currently have some odd issues in
regards to scaling. For example, if you were to create a game with the
initial room being 1024x768, this game will play just fine on screens
larger than that; however, when moving the game to an equal or lower
resolution, without any changes to the room size, then the mouse 
position will be off if your game requires the use of a mouse and 
switching the game to fullscreen will not help.


Everything looks fine if the mouse 
is near the top of the game window:

+--------------------------------+
|                                |
| (+) cursor_sprite + Mouse      |
|                     Location   |
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
+--------------------------------+

But as you move the mouse down, 
the cursor_sprite and the actual 
mouse location seem to separate:

+--------------------------------+
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|      ( ) cursor_sprite         |
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|       + Mouse Location         |
|                                |
|                                |
+--------------------------------+

If for some reason you intend to give into nostalgia and try to create
a game using LateralGM+Enigma on a newer system but then also use Game
Maker on an Windows XP machine, you will have to size the rooms to the
WinXP's resolution if it is the lowest of the two. Also, make sure to 
double-check what the WinXP's resolution says as you may think it is
1024x768 but may actually be 1024x600. Matter of fact, you are better
off lowering the height part anyway and then have the game set to allow
the player to resize the window, to which you have to do anyway if you
want fullscreen capability.

But why does this happen? As of the moment, I am not really sure why 
this behavior exists, but I do know that it is much easier for a GPU to
scale-up than it is to scale-down.
