Hi,
I got this cool effect with a banner where the warning “ASTROIDS!” scroll by when ever astroids closeup. Problem is the image with the text “ASTROIDS!” becomes too blurry so you can barly see it…
I figured I could set the renderer or something to “choose closest pixel” or something but I couldn’t find it.
filter=“true” does not help.
Is there anyway to do this?
A better texture?
Yes I could do that but it would still be a bit blurry…
On textures I do: img.setMagFilter(Texture.MagFilter.Nearest); and I think that these images are also just textures renderd 2d.
Problem is just getting them…
Texture.MagFilter.Bilinear should give better results.
Is it meant to say “Asteroids”? You are consistently mis-spelling it

Yes 
It’s corrected now, here is the image:

As you can see it’s very small. It’s mainly to make the game look retro but it gets blurry upon resizing…

that kinda makes it more retro...... :D
You should make your texture so that it displays with a 1:1 scale with the most common resolution. this one is kinda small even for a 800 * 480.
The other alternative is to have a set of small and big images and choose the image to display according to the resolution.
Most of the time on android you'll have 800x480 or 1280 x 800 or something like that
The default shaders interpolate between pixels to give you a continuous colour shift as you move across the object. You either need a different shader that will keep the “jump” or a higher res texture containing pixilated text if you want the retro vibe.
(I don’t know if there is a setting for the standard shaders to give the behaviour you want or not)
