Vertical Scrolling Problem( Video Game)
Author
Hey guys its me again, geez I always have issues huh? Well I guess thats just part of the learning process, umm ok this time this has to do with my scrolling background. This is what I am using for my scrolling background, mind you it scrolls only on the y axis this is supposed to be a top down shooter like in an airplane type thing.
This is the pertanent functions that need to be modified because as of now it will only scroll down and only if SpeedY = 7 instead of the -7 which would make it scroll up which is what I want.
Anyways my question is what can I do to make this scrollup what do I need to change.
Thanks!

Also can anyone tell me why it keeps scrolling even when there is no more background and its just black??
Thanks
Thanks
get rid of the line that makes the scroll speed 0 if the position is less than 0. And I don't think that the final if statement should have an else before it
If your going to have this many problems making a scolling game, you should aim for something easier maybe lol. Once you start having a lot of code, you can't post it and ask people to help, you need to be able to know what everything in your code does and where it is. I see you commented it which is good, but looking through that would take me a little time to understand. For your second post, that should be easy, just think about it.... Once the scroll is too far in a direction, don't update towards that direction anymore I would guess.

Ok well now it doesnt scroll and the background now flashes in place.
Also something I forgot to mention earlier was how I called all these functions:

Thank you for your patience

Please put the code inside [sou.rce] ... [/sou.rce] brackets (without the periods). And use more descriptive titles. It seems like a programmers job isn't to ask people to find problems with their code, but to write the code and fix it as they go. As you make the game, add one thing at a time so everything works right. Now that your already going though, you'll have a little trouble fixing it.

The problem is I am learning and I dont know how to fix my program. So I am trying to learn by asking questions and getting help.
I was adding things one at a time I had the game at the point where my background loaded and my ship was loaded but I need the background to scroll. So I began to implement that however it is not working the way I wish it would hence the point of this post. Whether or not it is the job of a programmer to ask people to find problems with there code, I have a problem so i'm asking for help.
