why does the sensing system only have a top, botton, and center hit test? the only glitch in my mario game is that if you run at a wall and just before you hit it if you change direction you glide to the other side.

Err I thought that would work. I mainly made this for use my the game Archknight's Adventure and this problem is addressed in the that game. I didn't bother to update this though.

There is a sprite called right end. Put it's position value to a greater number.

It is a rotation option. You can make the sprite rotate 360 degrees just left and right or not at all. The button for this are beside the sprite's name.

Incredible. I consider myself to be fairly good at Scratch programming, but I doubt I would ever figure out such a complex and useful side scrolling engine. This will probably help me a lot in the future. Thanks for sharing all of these awesome tutorial things!

1 sprite for scrolling is not possible in scratch. Really, think it out. I guess you could make it switch many many costumes but it wouldn't be worth the trouble. And for actionscript 2.0 codes go to http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/638183

Is it possible you can only use one sprite for scrolling instead of two here? You'd have to make lots of costumes but it seems to work in my brain. PS archmage, where did you get the flash actionscript you like to use for games?

Just a little question I want to make a slide scrolling game, your scripts are waaaay to long for me to copy without getting confused, if I was to change the character edit it so that it didn't look like you had origionaly made it(except for some scripts), add scripts, but not delete scripts so it had a scrolling back ground guy that jumped and so on, if I was to put it on Scratch would it be, a 'remix'?

Just set the rotation to left and right only. Rotation buttons can be found close to the sprite's name. Then rotate 90 (right) or -90 (left)
