    Uneven pixels in game graphics

    Not sure if this is something that I've done or it's just the nature of the beast. Anyway, I have a PNG file which simulates old school CRT scanlines by just having a one pixel horizontal line every two pixels down. Then I reduce the alpha, and draw it over the view. It looks nice, but I...
