Hi, I am using inkscape to make the graphics and would want to know whether to create games for the iphone retina display (which is twice the original size) I can export my drawing done with inkscape to bitmap or could not because then to reduce half the drawings they would look pixelated? anyone know how I have to do the graphics for that to reduce the game then when you upload the app store do not look pixelated? thanks in advance

    Not sure what you mean but all I know is...
    1. Art needs to be twice the size (because the creator halves it)

    2. Make sure the art is even numbers i.e. 60x60, 62x82, 256x256 etc... the number sizes don't matter (size it to what ever you want). What matters is that the art needs to be even numbers so that when the creator halves the images, it don't look blurred or pixelated

    thank you very much. your program that you use for graphics? then I do not care if the bitmap graphics? I've done some tests on GameSalad graphics with bitmap graphics to see if pixelated when reduced to half and I have done as you have told me with even numbers and I can not pixelated anymore. thank you very much again for your response
