How to change resolution for a 8x8 sprites pixel game

[Puntocom]

Hello,

I'm messing with the demo, and I'm trying to do something like an old game, with 8x8 sprites objects. Something like this:

http://static.squarespace.com/static/5005d42ce4b0d534734e9706/51216524e4b0dce195c4ff5f/51861414e4b09995885ec00c/1367741461352/mockup_1.png?format=500w

But the problem is that when I create a 8x8 sprite object it is really small, and I don't know what I should do to see the game bigger, like the image.

I have been trying with the resolution properties of the app and frame, but I haven't got the solution.

Thank you!

Look at running your app with a smaller resolution and clicking Change Resolution Mode and or Resize Frame to Display in App properties, let me know if that works.

I can't use "Change Resolution Mode", it appers grey and I can't click, I don't know if it's because I'am using the free version or I am doing something wrong. And "Resize display to fill windows size" doesn't change anything.

Thanks.

I don't know if "Change Resolution Mode" is supposed to work in the free version or not, but here is a potential workaround if you can't achieve what you want by changing the resolution.

You can change the size of each sprite object in the Picture Editor. For example, using the Size (W) tool in the Picture editor, change the width and height of the sprite from 8x8 to 32x32. Make sure that the Stretch box is checked and that the Resample box is not checked, and hit apply. The sprite should now be bigger and easier to see while still looking like it is composed of 8x8 square pixels.

This is easier to do if you've only just started to make your game. If you've already created levels using small 8x8 objects then you will have to adjust their positions when you resize them.

Yeah, I finally found that and it worked, but I thought that it would be an easier way.

Thank you.
