Pixel Problem
Thanksgiving break exhausted all my resources for trying to fix up my Al Gore platform game. My main problem has been trying to get the Al Gore character sprite to look better than it does. The issue is that in order for it to fit properly inside the room, the image has to be greatly reduced in size from its original. This results in putting a detailed image into only a few pixels, which results in the image looking terrible. Every attempt at solving this problem has been futile. Every other aspect of the game runs smoothly. The enemies look much better than the character sprite when they were reduced in size and the backgrounds fit the mood we were trying to set inside the game. However, this problem with the main sprite is damaging to the overall game. It is unfortunate, but with the limited tools at our disposal and my overall lack of knowledge of graphic enhancement, this looks like it is as final as it is going to get.
