Hello All,

Here are some tips on how to make scrolling (moveing background/sprite) projects.

Before we start, if you have never heard of or made a scrolling project, go to my username
and view these projects

scroll test
scroll racer
super race (only works when downloaded)

Now to start.

The entire idea of scrolling projects are VARIABLES, the entire idea is based off of VARIABLES when you make a scrolling project, instead of using

[blocks]<when green flag clicked>[/blocks]
[blocks]<forever if><key[ left arrow ]pressed?>[/blocks]
[blocks]<change x by( 5)[/blocks]

Doing this is X and Y axis based.
Since I do not have much time left (i have to go to bed) i will not use the blocks i will just type out instructions for character movement.

1. make a variable called scrollx for everybody
2. put a [when green flag clicked] block in.
3. put a [forever if] block in under the [green flag] block.
4. put inside the [forever if] block a [key (right arrow) pressed]
5. under the [forever if (key right arrow pressed)] put a [change (scrollx) by {-5}]

This is how to do character right scroll movement. I will post more in the moring before school
