    Will graphics be pixel perfect scaled, if an image gets scaled DOWN by an integer?

    I know that scaling graphics up in a game should always be done by multiplying it with an integer number such as 2 and not a number such as 1.43 or 2.5 to keep the quality. But now I wonder, how does this work when scaling graphics DOWN by an integer? I have a 1920x1080 room background that I...

    GML Is there automatic scaling?

    Before I get to reinventing the wheel I want to be sure that there is not an automatic scaling system for users resizing game or browser windows.

    16:9 scaler script

    So I created this script to scale a game with 16:9 ratio. Basically it scales to edge for width then puts it to a 16:9 ratio via a surface scale. Works, I just thought I'd share for anyone interested and see if there's any additions or alterations anyone may have to suggest.
