Hello, I want to start looking into Android Game making with GMS2.
In case I want o create my game for landscape modus, how should I determine
which width and height I should use for my rooms, so it does match on all (or most)
devices (smartphone and maybe tablets)?

Thank you in advance for answering this noob questions :)

Android uses mostly 16x9 aspect ratio, the new galaxy 8 uses 21x9 aspect ratio, so for mainstream android I'd go with any room size that is a 16 x 9 aspect ratio, there is an aspect ratio calculator online that can help you pick what length and height of your room, views, and background images should be, all 3 can be different sizes but you want to make sure they are all the same 16 x 9 aspect ratio. just plug in a desired length or height into the calculator and fine tune it so both numbers are whole numbers.
