why most pixel art claude makes looks off: it's never the art. it's the renderer i broke my own game six ways to show it → blurry: linear filtering. use nearest, everywhere → lumpy: scaling by 5.45. whole numbers only, bars for the rest → pasted together: one sprite at another pixel size. one pixel size for everything → torn: rotating sprites at runtime. draw the rotation frames → smudged: a smooth font at tiny size. pixel font at native size → fizzy: particles off the grid. 1×1 pixels on the same grid 320×180 ×6 is exactly 1080p. pick a base resolution and never leave it i packed the rules, engine settings for canvas, phaser, godot and unity, and an audit script into a claude skill. free ↓ rule 26 of the code: crisp isn't a style. it's arithmetic
