Vector Graphics

I didn't want to bump the old post, so discussify them here.

I thought illustrator was better than inkscape. I was wrong all along  tongue

Re: Vector Graphics

Vector graphics are awful for game making, so I'm really unhappy that Scratch is switching to them.

Yes, how true...

I think that it should keep the current way...

Re: Vector Graphics

You will be able to import bitmaps saved from other programs like Gimp or Paint.NET  smile

It depends on the game. And Flash uses vector graphics, and no-one really complains about that.

What's wrong with vector graphics? imo, It's kind of annoying to enlarge a sprite, then it starts to look like it's from Minecraft.  tongue

Re: Vector Graphics

Kewl.

I don't get why you're hatin' on the vector games, guys. Sprite sensing is perfect, and color sensing detects fills of the objects, so it's much better, and anti-aliasing is supported.  hmm

Re: Vector Graphics

I prefer 16bit graphics when making games, which is why I love Scratch's paint editor. One reason why I'm keeping 1.4 installed when 2.0 is released

(You're thinking of 24bit.)
