Scrolling basically works by sliding terrain sprites across the screen. The terrain moves accordingly to a variable - in some cases ScrollX.

Hey everyone!
I made a new scrollX tutorial. It's really easy to understand for absolute beginners as well.
The projects link is:

The project makes no sense on its own so you have to watch the video I made for it:
