Help!

Alright, I am working on a game where you are a fighter jet and must shoot enemy planes down.  All the costumes are from a bird's eye view so I want to have the background scrolling downwards to create the illusion that you are flying.

I looked up "Scroller" on the Scratch Wiki but all it showed me was how to scroll without reusing sprites.  I would like the scroll to go on forever.

How? Please post some scripts/help/ideas.

Re: Help!

I think what you're looking for is an infinite scroller on both axes. That might be a little tricky, but you can use the method of scrolling with only a few sprites, but design the backgrounds so that one side of one matches up with the other side of another. With a bit if experimentation, you should be able to get it. I hope that helped!

Re: Help!

Not really, actually. The problem is that as far ad I can find, this hasn't really been done before on Scratch. You can look at an infinite scroller base and try to apply the concept to both the x and y axes, though.
