[Resolved] Graphic for my Game, N00B mobile question

Games
#1

Hi guys. I have been reading the docs and the forums for the last few days to get a handle on everything. But I have a question aboutthe one subject I am and always have been horrific at. Graphics. So I will be developing a game for Android but I want it to work without stretching the art on a larger screen. I thankfully have a Samsung Galaxy S and a new Galaxy Tablet to test on. But heres my question, Should I make all the graphics to fitthe larger screen and have them shrink for the smaller? or can I do what the android SDK says and have two seperate graphics, Hi Res, Low Res.
I found an article on it at one point where it explained about have the graphics a bit larger or off the screen because of all the weird android screen sizes but do you think I can find that for the life of me?

My thought process is telling me to get a graphics guy to make the title screen for the large screen and simply scale it to the smaller. obviously the other way around is gonna make it pixilated.

If any of you guys got an article on it bookmarked or something I will be grateful.

Thank you eh? [import]uid: 143556 topic_id: 25582 reply_id: 325582[/import]

Image suffixes for @2x graphics should do the trick.

Take a read here, mentions cross platform if you scroll down despite the post focusing on the new iPad :slight_smile:

Thanks for the heads up. This is what I wanted. Sorry I haven’t been on. Damned job is getting in the way of my fun. *sigh*. I already started my first game. I am making the graphics myself then when I need to compile and do the final touches, I will send the graphics to a graphics guy and get them all switched. So my current title screen is just a place holder and will be switched withthe one he creates. Buttons too. Seems like a workable plan for this game. There are no sprites.

No worries - I’m lucky enough to have a job that means I’m on here all the time :wink:

Looking forward to seeing your first game :slight_smile:
