I, Patrick McCarron, am an iOS and Mac app / game developer from Chicago. I developed one of the first iPhone games back in 2007 and haven't stopped since. Check out my app Portfolio for more info on the projects I've worked on.

I'm also an avid video game enthusiast who has been writing FAQs, websites and guides for video games since the 90s. I currently run the longest running Mortal Kombat fan site: The Realm of Mortal Kombat (TRMK) in my spare time.

Andrey Subbotin: iPhone 4 @2x assets made easy

Andrey Subbotin put together a great Ruby script for updating your app’s art assets for Retina screen on the iPhone 4. It is a great looking utility, I suggest you check it out.

We were updating our app’s graphics for the gorgeous screen of iPhone 4 the other day and it was a pain to update all the 163 PNG files we had and not to miss a thing.

So, I’ve come up with a simple Ruby script that checks that for each @1x image you have a properly sized @2x image.
