I know how to scroll the background, but I just need some code for scrolling the screen, such as in classic platform sidescrollers.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

hi Prog, I'd like to try to help you but I'm not sure of your definition of scroll the screen as opposed to scroll the background .. can you explain? also, have you looked on the code snippets thread? .. just an idea ..

I think the effect you are looking for can be achieved by not only scrolling the background, but shift everything in screen in the desired direction.Just do the same you do for the background.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Well, to explain, I was looking for a way to scroll the 2D screen with set sprite positions like 1200,400 (X,Y) for a platform off-screen to the right and slightly above ground.

Thanks for the code, owlman, but I see some 3D code in there, and I don't think objects would work too well in a 2D environment like I wanted.

And no, I haven't looked in the code snippets section and I probably should.

I wasn`t sure what you wanted to do, but anyway the snippet is perfect, i couldn`t do it better.Good job finding it yourself!

And good luck with the game!
