I also managed to get a scrolling background working (eventually) for the LevelStart state but I have a Background class which I can use in any other states I will need a scrolling background.
Finally, I managed to draw the outline of the player's ship. I'm surprised at how good it looks so far given my lack of artistic ability:
Admittedly it is just straight lines and block colours at the moment so we'll see if the artist that is (hopefully) hiding in me will make himself known when I start drawing the details.
Thanks for reading
