Sprite Sizes
« on: May 04, 2010, 01:09:18 am »
What sized sprites does everyone use? Like for any type of game or anything. The only ones I can think of are 7*7, 8*8, 16*16, and 32*32 but I'm assuming there are more that people use. Thanks :)

I've used 12*12 before, even though it was really a 16*16 with transparent edges.  8*16 and 16*8 are common as well.

I only ever used 8x8 except in Reuben, where some were 16x16 or higher in battles.

Add 6x8 to that if we count ASCII, though :P

Also some people use 6x7 like Ztrumpet in Elmgon and Builderboy in Serenity

I use 8xA in Project M, where A can be any height. In F-Zero, there are various sizes.

usually using tiles where the width is a multiple of 8 is recommended, otherwise you waste a lot of space.

I've used 8x8 and 16x16, but for some really big stuff I occasionally use 32x32.

I tend to use whatever is best for the particular game.  Secret project uses 8x8 and 16x16.  HL2: OC uses 7x7.  So on and so forth.

What's an example of a sprite you use where A is greater than 8?

Most of the sprites in S.A.D. are 8 x 8, 16 x 16, or 32 x 32.  (Actually, in S.A.D., 32 x 32 is not uncommon)  However, there are a couple of unusual sizes, such as 32 wide by 23 high
