By no means do I hold up my effort as the best way (LOL not even close), just a way to handle some of this... of course Biagini you would see I'm not addressing the most interesting parts of your question...

As it stands now, the game starts at 640x480 windowed and expects the user to figure out how to bump up the resolution (and/or select fullscreen).
