Hi folks, I'm relatively new here and have used other systems that required the addition of some sort of code to handle the different screen sizes from mobile to PC, etc. Now in the docs and tutorials, I haven't come across any reference to this and I am curious. How does Godot actually handle this? The ideas I have I would like to primarily target mobile (and the vast different screen sizes) but also have others I would like to attempt to make for consoles.

Godot supports scaling UI based on the screen size: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/rendering/multiple_resolutions.html

For the view through a Camera2d or Camera3d, I believe it tries to keep the same aspect ratio and (based on the project settings) it will increase/decrease the ratio to the next best fit (either expanding view or adding black bars)
