Hi all,
I posted this on the clickteam forums but nobody there seems to be as helpful as they are here 
I'm thinking of making my game 8bit-like so I ran an experiment. My window is 320 x 240 and I have options to resize to the standard 4:3 resolutions, 640x480, 800x600 etc. using the window resize object and the WinX/YSize-ClientWidth technique to resize the frame correctly. Lo and behold distortions are noticeable, especially at 800 and 1024. Shouldn't be happening right? Aspect (1.33333) is the same, so what's the deal?
Obviously no AA is used for the 8bit look.
Example:

Any clues?
Cheers

800 and 1024 are scaling by 2.5x and 3.2x respectively, your pixels won't be consistently sized... You could turn on "anti-aliasing when resizing" for better resampling, but you'll lose the pixelly look. Why not just scale by 3x (960) and 4x (1280) instead?

I have no idea if this can be done in MMF2 but what about scaling to the nearest integer and padding it with a border?

Make some more box arts damnit!

@Duncan - that makes sense, but I'll only use the 3x and 4x as a last resort.. I want my game to have a kind of DOSy feel to it so having the standard resolutions is pretty key.
@Phredreeke - how do I find the nearest integer?
