Based on the 1024x1024 512x256 etc, do all variables work under this concept? 768x320 and so on? As long as it's a multiple of 64?

Thanks

Although they are multiples of 64, that is not the reason for using 1024,512 etc. It is them being a "power of 2" examples: 2^2=4 2^3=8 2^6=64..... 2^9=256, 2^10-1024...

All powers of 2 will also be multiples of each preceding power of two, 64 is just one of those.

If I'm understanding correctly, then 512 x 384 would not be an appropriate size?

Best practice is square power of 8's 64x64 128x128 256x256 but if this means taking an image and squeezing it making it blurry when used don't do it. Next best thing might be 128x256. All I know is its not worth sacrificing image quality to be PC. Another good practice is use jpg when transparency is not needed this keeps them light weight.

Image size:
The images don't have to be squares, but each dimension should be some power of 2. So 128x1024, 512x256, etc are ok. But the 384 is not. Use the smallest size you can to achieve your result. A large floor or sky may need to be a large size, but a fork could be done in a very small size. Some older graphics cards cannot read anything over 2048, so keep that in mind.
