the basics of the split screen technique
hopefully this will enlighten some on the challenge of making split screen games for platformers
layer 1: the background/stage
layer 2: the top screen platforms
layer 3: top screen player & fake bottom screen player
layer 4: bottom screen background (made as a sprite, ONLY for the bottom screen)
layer 5: bottom screen platforms
layer 6: bottom screen player & fake top screen player
I won't go into coding this because if you don't know how to code a scrolling platformer then you shouldn't be coding this

I don't think he has to make it any more clear. If you understand how to make scrolling with 1 screen then this is the same thing done twice. Its very simple if you understand the code.

Also, dingdong, are you talking about actually making a DS version of scratch, or just incorporating this into a project?

no, no, it's like split screen platformer games where it's two player, where there's one player on the top screen and another on the bottom
