That's the most useful response to a question I've ever read.

Could you post a picture of what the "ugly edges" look like? Alternatively, you'll probably get more answers in the Dark GDK forum as opposed to here.

Give me an ounce of Puyo, good apothecary, to sweeten my imagination.

Two ways around it

1:
Make the sprite image 2-4 (or as many as you want) times bigger than it needs to be then scale it down. I made an asteroids game where i had every sprite 8x bigger gave nice edges

2:
Abandon sprites and use textured planes. Probably will have to set the camera FOV to make it look flat

Using alpha images (like .PNG) and going a little bigger than you need to, say your using a 32x32 sprite, make it 48x48 and scale it in GDK back down to 32x32. This should improve the looks when rotating the sprite, but having a nice soft edge on your sprites will help too. As Typhoon said, the best way to do this is draw at 2 or 4 times the resolution you actually need then scale down.


less is more, but if less is more how you keeping score?
