What is the best method of scrolling the whole screen through a 2d level, ie. in a 2d platformer game?

The way im using now keeps the character at the center of the screen by moving the level around him , not the actual character. So for example, if i wanted to move 5pixels to the right, i would move the whole level 5pixels to the left, making it appear as though the character is going right. I store the sprite numbers and positions in an array

Is this the best method of acomplishing this?

Screw the rules...what can i blow up?

Use 3d plains.

3D plains allow you to use camera commands and will speed it up.

Note: The above I didn't say, your just crazy.

No.
Don't do that.
Use the method you were doing.

That's what I did for my competition entry, Tankoids and it worked great.

Have two variables, xCam and yCam and then whenever you make a sprite make sure you do this:

sprite 1, 100 -xCam, 200 -yCam, 1

Then just position the camera by changing xCam and yCam.
