Small tip to make your projects look better!

If you have a projects thats not very big, when you upload it, uncheck "compress sounds and images in the corner. This will make all your sprites look cleaner! If you used images from the web, and even hand drawn sprites, they will look even better! But if your project is kind of big, you'll want to compress sounds and images so its less glitchy and works better online.

Re: Small tip to make your projects look better!

Cool! I have never really paid attention to the compress sounds and images checkbox unless I had a big project and it told me to uncheck it. Now I know how to use it! Thanks for the tip!  smile

Re: Small tip to make your projects look better!

None of my projects ever have compressed sounds or images.  smile

Probably because I don't overuse sounds or images. Still, great tip, and it really does improve the quality of your projects.
