I'd also like to know how to change resolution size to change the 640 x 480 box into a 1400 x 900 box that would fit onto my entire screen. I'd also like to know how to make an options menu for the user to customize the resolution size. Thank you!

#GLFW_WINDOW_WIDTH=1024
#GLFW_WINDOW_HEIGHT=768
#GLFW_WINDOW_RESIZABLE=true

You can use these to set the default values of your window. If you want to change the window size in game you'll need to use,

SetDeviceWindow(1024, 768, FLAG)  'You can change the width and height to what you want.

For v82b (as far as I know) FLAG can be
True - Fullscreen
False - Windowed

But in v83c (experimental) FLAG has multiple options,

Const BBWINDOW_FULLSCREEN:=1
Const BBWINDOW_RESIZABLE:=2  
Const BBWINDOW_DECORATED:=4
Const BBWINDOW_FLOATING:=8
Const BBWINDOW_DEPTHBUFFER:=16
Const BBWINDOW_SINGLEBUFFER:=32
Const BBWINDOW_SECONDMONITOR:=64

To get your native desktop resolution you can use,

Local wScreen = DesktopMode.Width()
Local hScreen = DesktopMode.Height()
SetDeviceWindow(wScreen, hScreen, True)

That's probably the basics you'll need to know.
