Me and my friends are working on a 2D platform game as a tech project, but we've run into a dead end in the front end. We need the background image to scroll with the sprite as he moves, but we can't seem to get it to, even though we made it work in a separate file using only the bg and not the sprite. As far as we can tell the code should work, but it doesn't. Can anyone help us debug this, because we've tried everything we can think of.

BTW, we are using DBLite right now, but plan to upgrade sometime in December.

Thanks!

I think there is a scrolling tutorial in the tutorials area of this site.

Well, it's not a problem that we don't know how to do it, it's a problem that we can't get the bloody thing to work right. As we said, we tested the code first in a separate file in which the left and right arrow keys scrolled the background left and right respectively, but when we plugged it into the script with the sprite, it didn't work. As far as we can tell, the variables are changing correctly, the problem lies in that DB is not repasting the bg image with the new coordinates at the end of each run through the main loop, and we can't figure out why.
