I'm trying to get the character to scroll the map when he comes to the edge. I found a few tutorials, but they are all about scrolling in 4 direction. I would like the character to rotate. here is how far i have got so far. Can someone please help me figure this out. Thanks.

Oh pretty much you just scroll the environment instead of the player. So scroll the projectiles (So they stay at the same speed) and the trees and stuff like that and the player stays still, and the environment moves at the same speed as you we're moving.



This only works for the X coord, and the left side (I think lol)
But you can easily add the right side (use playerX > 0) and the Y's

Its not too hard. The hard part is having to move all of your environment, if you have it all neat then you can just do a for next and select the array's and move all of their X and Y values (Of course types would be needed for this)

P.S. I didn't even read your code so don't get mad at me lol

Something like this? I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about. You want the character to rotate but all pre-existing tutorials are about scrolling the map in 4 directions? So are you trying to make the character move or the map? 'Cause you mentioned two different subjects.

I have figured out how to get the sprite to move and scroll the screen now. Thank you everyone. But I'm stuck on the rotate when i run the program the sprite is facing 90 degrees but walks left when i press forward making him walk sideways.


I got it. All a needed to do is change line
rotate sprite 101, angle#
to
rotate sprite 101, (angle#)-90
and the sprite walks correctly

This is the relevant part of the code. I helped the original author with this part as well.
old code
ink map(x+1,y+1).color, 0 `<<<<< note ink command
ix = (x - sx)*MapTileSize - ox
iy = (y - sy)*MapTileSize - oy

new code
paste image map(x+1,y+1),ix,iy `<<changed to paste image
ix = (x - sx)*MapTileSize - ox
iy = (y - sy)*MapTileSize - oy

thank you for getting back ... I noticed that. I should have replied here. Rotation and scrolling are working great now.
