scrolling background game
Author
hi,
i want to know how to develop a scrolling background game.
i have written a few games without scrolling bg support.i have a game engine written by michael morris(using c++,win32 api)
but it does not support scrolling
can i get the algorithm to implement scrolling in my games.
thank you very much.
Have some time to think about it... what defines a game that scroll?
Everything moves in a direction, right?
Simply move everything according to a scrollvector... if you're going for a tilebased scroller, simply make the drawarea one or two tiles bigger than the playarea and use a scrolloffset to draw the tiles/units.
But this is if you write your own engine...if you're using someone's elses, I can't help you. try contacting the author.
Peace!
