The scaling in the school makes no sense.
School doors can vary in size, but the widest standardized door is 6 foot 8 inches tall and 4 foot wide.
But if the doors in this game aren't meant to be that same height, they would be 5 foot 3 inches wide.
And if you kept their width more standard, it would make the doors only 5 foot 1 inches tall.
which is too short for most adults to walk through.
But then we have air vents that are usually two feet by one and a half feet, but here they're nearly the size of Miss Applegate's massive, uh, brain.
Heck, if you compare our protagonist to a roll of toilet paper, which at most is going to be about five inches tall, he's only like two rolls of toilet paper tall.
Of course, this shouldn't be too surprising.
This is a pixel-based game after all.
It's more about aesthetics than it is accuracy.
That does mean that for one of the first times ever, pixel measurements had failed me.
Let's get some Fs in the chat, boys.
We lost a good one today.
And so, since scaling in our game isn't going to do us any good for our little experiment, I had only one choice left.
I had to face reality.
And by that I mean, use the dimensions of a normal kindergartner and shove that into the maws of our angry reptile.
The CDC tells us that the average height of your typical tyke is around 43 inches, or just over one meter.
They also give us the average weight, which is about 44 pounds or 20 kilograms.
But those are just the tip of the mathematical nugget iceberg.
