I came across a very strange problem.

If I have an odd sized sprite 87x93, all works fine on Windows.

On iOS the bottom line (1 pixel height) is always cut off!!!

A sprite of 87x94 works fine!

This happens only along the vertical height. horizontally all works fine, even if the sprite is odd sized!

Don't tell me to use Atlas files, they are impossible to work with!!!!

It has to do with AppGameKit auto correcting feature. It doesn't like odd sizes.

Back in the day you had to work in powers of two. If you stick to that you will never have a problem.

Just adjusted my photoshop export script, it now always aligns sprites to even size. Seems to be working GREAT!!!

strangely the problem only happened across vertically NOT horizontally.

bj, atlas files are not impossible, they can be very handy!

But, as I've asked about in a post, they seem to add to the execution time when loading in the subimages.

EDIT: and thanks for catching that glitch, I'll be sure to look closely at any odd sized sprites I have vis-a-vis iOS!
