The screen shake in a pixel art scene never quite stops and the picture stays blurry

A shake that fades out should end on a perfectly still, sharp picture. With pixel graphics, tiny leftover movements keep it twitching by one pixel or leave it between pixels. Here is how to make it end cleanly.

Why this works

Tiny pixel art only looks sharp when everything sits on whole pixels. A wobble that fades smoothly ends in a long tail of tiny values that either blur the picture or flicker, so it has to be cut off cleanly at a point where it is no longer visible anyway.

When not to use it

Do not use it for smooth, high-resolution art, where small fractions look fine and a whole-pixel jump would look rough. It also does not suit a shake that must run for a fixed time, such as a long earthquake. Use the smooth version there.
