dynamic resolution

To the developers,

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before but here 'goes. I would like it if you could set a new resolution for your game, in realtime. That would be so nice. Especially if you were playing the game in fullscreen and your monitor was really large. You could just scale up the resolution. The code to do that could be a function of course. Such as SetResolution(int width, int height). I don't know how hard that would be to program, but it would make me very happy^^

Thanks,
Sonic

One more thing. I'm not sure what the term is used for this but I'll describe it as best I can. So, let's say you have a game that's running at 320x240. Now, would it be possible to make a function in Ge that let's you scale the window up to 640x480 AND scale up the sprites? So that everything is 2x? :D
