The rule of thumb is to make your character a little smaller than the height of the doorways (if any) in your game. If there are no doorways (what! no doorways?), then the other rule of thumb is to size them as large as they will ever be in the game. | |||
By importing bigger sprites (images), you can resize the characters to whatever size you want. Although you can technically scale characters to values above 100%, up to 200%, doing so will result in blocky-lookng characters. If your character will never be larger than half of the game's screen height (say, half of 480), then you must scale your character to be about 240 pixels tall. | |||
