    hey guys,

    i try to check out on which device the game is running.

    How is the best solution to solve this.

    I have tried with Application:getDeviceInfo is this right?

    I just want create an function for checking.

    for examplee:

    if android then ...
    if windows phone this
    and if mac this
    and windows this and so on.

    Thank you in Advanced for the Help.

      first value is always platform, so something like this works
      local platform =  string.lower(application:getDeviceInfo())
 
if platform == "android" then
elseif platform == "ios" then
else --etc
end

      There may be a new one (tested) called "Web" in device[1]...

      ...if the html5 kickstarter is successful...
