I'm trying to make a simple game in swift. But I don't know, what size should I make for my pics. Apple explains sizes of launch screen, icon and such. But, what to do with my background, hero or enemies? Also, should I draw @3x first and then downsize them or how to do it? As a newbe to spritekit and programming in general, I couldn't find that info.

Its quite simple calculation.. Consider @3x size only for base design. So say your 3x size = 120. 2x will be = 80 and 1x = 40. 2x is 1.5% smaller than 3x. – iphonic Feb 27 '15 at 12:30

are those numbers in pixels or in points? Thank you! That's quite eye-opening for me!. But how to chose that first number? According to a background size? – Burundanga Feb 27 '15 at 12:39

Apple Screen Sizes are handled poorly. Those assets will be the same exact size for the iphone 4,5,6. To me this does not make sense as I want my game to remain proportional to keep difficulty constant. What I had to do was pick the closest aspect resolution to 1 I want to support, design the game in an arbitrary size in that aspect ratio, and create methods that will scale your arbitrary Units to pixels. This will give you a playable area in the center that remains proportional. You also could supply a hires image and scale it down based on the size in units you want vs dev screen size. – meisenman Feb 27 '15 at 17:49

Most of my concern is background. It's either zoomed or have letterboxes. I made one for iPhone 6+ for example. It's 1242x2208 but still it displays with letterboxes. I tried to change scalemodes, not helping. I just can't understand the logic of xcode. What background sizes would you suggest for at1x, at2x and at3x? – Burundanga Feb 28 '15 at 14:53
