Understanding how to create/use textures for games when limited by power of two sizes
- by Matthias Reisner
I have some questions about the creating graphics for a game.
As an example. I want to create a motorbike. (1pixel = 1centimeter)
So my motorbike will have 200 width and 150 height. (200x150)
But the libgdx only allows to load sizes with the power of 2?! (2,4,8,16,...)
First I thought about that way.
I will create my bike with the size (200x150) and save it as png. Than I will open it again (e.g. with gimp) resize the image to a size which uses values with power of 2 (128x128). I will load that as texture in the programm and set width as 200 and height as 150.
But wouldn't it be a problem? Because I will lose some pixel information when I make the first conversation.?! Isn't it?
