http://stackoverflow.com – I'm making a game that has lots of pixel art in it. A standard button in my game is about 12x12 pixels and all of the characters are also scaled two times bigger, depending on the screen. The problem is that if I store all these images to upscaled bitmaps, I get the out of memory error in Android. If I try to scale them up every time for drawing, the game runs really slowly. That's why I wrote my own PixelArtBitmap class. It results in great images and requires so little memory, but is highly inefficient, dropping my fps a lot. It's still faster than scaling bitmaps up every time for drawing. (HowTos)
