| Hi, Which is the best userlib to use for creating a fast scrooling shoot-em-up with paralax scrolling, maybe even rotating sprites and levels. I,ve looked at sprite candy and nsprite 2. Which 1 is best and are there better libs I could look at? Also, Do any come with a tile based map editor? Thanks |

| Sprite Candy |

| Sprite Candy definately : www.x-pressive.com |
| ||
| Thanks guys:) I see sprite candy has a GUI extension so it shouldn't be too hard to make my own map editor, right? Thanks MM |

| Sprite Candy. |
| ||
| the gui is rather limited though, if you plan on doing anything major with it. |

| I just bought sprite candy:) Not had a chance to play with it yet but I could do with opinions on the best way to do scrolling tiled levels. As I see it I have 3 options 1. create a layer as big as the level, tile the whole level on it and move the layer to scroll 2. Make a layer 1 tile bigger than the screen in all directions and re-tile the layer when the edge of the layer is reached 3. Make a layer as big as the screen and re-tile it every frame Which is best? I'm thinking 2. is as 1. will be useless for very big levels and 3. may be too slow. Is there a way I aint thought of? Thanks |

| Are there any parallax scrolling demos using spritecandy? |

| Oops, sprite candy is a great tool, but unfortunately not very good at scrolling tile levels. If anybody has an example of how to scroll a tile level with Sprite Candy, I would be very interested to see that code. |

| I'd use Fast Image for this. |
