Sprite scaling stretches tiny pixel grids to massive sizes
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Taking a tiny piece of two-dimensional art and making it massive requires brutal interpolation. Sprite scaling mathematically multiplies the digital grid, forcing the engine to guess what colors should fill the new empty spaces. Nearest-neighbor algorithms just make the existing blocks giant, embracing the harsh, jagged aesthetic of blown-up math.
One discovery leads to another.
