I'm looking for the smoothest scrolling method. Any suggestions?

I don't want a scrolling engine that goes "set x to ~scroll x + 480 * 0~" Because I already know how to do that. I want the smoothest scrolling out there, is there anything smoother than that? Or do I need to go to sensors and velocity?

Did you try looking at the stickied threads?

I made the first method (which is what you are using) for beginners who have a hard time understanding programming. Method 2 as detailed in the linked thread, is much better and is used for most good scrolling platformer games.

M44's game Chop Shop is probably the best example of a basic scrolling game. You can use it as an example.

I usually make games that are a bit more complex and harder to understand, for example, Archknight's Adventure.
