Converting Penguin Pounce to iPad - Help

Braydon_SFX

Hey there,

I am converting Penguin Pounce to the iPad and I am in need of some help.

I am just changing the ipad screen size width and height to 480x320, and that is fine. However, my actors looks squished. As in width wise.
So I changed the width from 32x32 to 34x32 and it looks alright. Here is my problem. If one of the snow blocks falls on it's side, it still looks squished. Since the size was 32x32 on the iPhone, shouldn't it be an even number on this too? Anybody run into this? Can you help me? I tried changing the width of each actor up about 2 pixels but it still doesn't look right.

Thanks for your help in advance.

You should be changing the camera size not the screen size.

And for the side that looks stretched just add a Change Attribute self.width to self.width*0.9

You should buy deepblueapps resizer I used it to down scale an iPad project it worked great I just had to adjust some x y numbers as the screen size is different. I've never tested it upsizing.

Darrens Tool has been very helpful though I have found many cases resizing by adjusting the camera size will save you so much time.

Check out this thread for more info. I completely converted an iPhone app ti a Publish iPad app in 1 hour using this technique.

HI, Tenrdrmer -
That seemed to work for me. However, there was a big bag inbetween each snow block or actor. So I changed it to self.width to self.width*1.1 and that fixed it.

Thanks for you help,
