I'm planning my next game, and I'm thinking about going with a side scroller. Think of the Metal Slug series. What is the best way to achieve that in BMax? Are there some materials I could read? Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get started? |

* 2d array containing map * animimage with maptiles in indexes * a 'camera' object which points to a specific x,y coord of the map |

Thanks for your response but you told me what I need and gave no information on how to use them. I have never done this before so I need a little bit more info. |

there are several tutorials on the tutorial section on scrollers and some examples on the code archives. try doing that first. Once you figure out what they did, try starting a scroller yourself. Many programmers here can help you but you have to figure out the basics first, if you run in to problems once you get started, post in the beginners section. the community is very active and can help you. :) |
