But that's basically what fixed point is, no? Half pixels is fixed point with a single bit for decimals. Quarter pixels is two bits, and so on. I think the disadvantage is you now have to think in a strange unit that isn't intuitive. For my game I tend to think in screen sizes for things. Thinking in screen size*factor would be harder I think. Fixed point is basically just doing that for me and hiding the details really.
To be fair, rereading the post I realize I did make it sound like you would only need this for positioning sprites. I'll see about rewording it.
Or maybe we're both talking about the same thing and you're taking a different approach. That is fair too.
