I’m making a C++ game, and I want it to automatically get the user’s desktop resolution.

I’ve found windows-only solutions so far – is there a way/library to find the resolution on Windows/Mac/Linux?

    There are several libraries helping you at getting the low-level stuff to work out. You’ll probably need more stuff on those platforms anyways, so I’ll list some:

    • SFML is a C++ library abstracting much of the I/O stuff, including display management. Also supports several platforms.
    • The classic SDL, although being a C library is widely used in platform independent game development and supports several platforms. Like SFML, it does more than just display management.
    • GLFW, see wardds answer, also a C library and also poses an abstraction layer, but more focused on display and keyboard/mouse I/O instead of broader I/O (audio etc.)
