I think it's more a template for other Scratch users than its own game. (Try using it to make your own game! I think-- and Archmage, correct me if I'm wrong-- that its purpose is for exactly that!) Good luck!
Sorry, should have mentioned that you can delete the flickering version any time you want, I took a copy. I had a couple of theories but nothing has proven out yet; still thinking. Not sure why I'm interested, the velocity version is fine, but I would like to know why it's doing what it's doing. Very annoying.
This is awesome! This would have saved me a bunch of thinking if I had seen it before I did my little scroller project recently. I love this technique. I do believe that the Forum tutorial topic that references this has an error in the movement script. The end of the second If is in the wrong spot.
The problem was that the sprites would flicker if you didn't use a movement script that involved velocity. If you tried to change scrollX simply by adding to or taking away from the variable the screen flickers. Unfortunately, I don't quite understand how the solution you mentioned would fix this, can you explain your solution in greater detail?
Um... Archmage little problem here, I made a platform scroller using this scrolling technique (it's not posted yet), but the platform costumes change suddenly. I think this is because of the 'switch costume to (terrainnum).' Could you please tell me how to fix this?! :D Please answer on one of my projects.
Here's another way to do the same thing except in 2 dimensions: (link to project) I prefer the mod command because I don't really like using the round command.
Um arch... I used this and it didn't work, well it works just not very well, there are large gaps inbetween the terains, here I was hopeing you could help. (link to project)
Firstly, if you ever run this offline it will probably flash. Also, I found that if you do not move the terrain with velocities it will flash no matter what you do. And for the screens to be in the right order BOTH of the terrain sprites MUST have the same costumes in the exact same order like in this project.
question... I downloaded and implemented this in a project(unreleased) and it messes up.
The terrain flashes and changes, not the little flashes like this one... but it doesn't work in the right order. Any thoughts?
Kalininrussia said "OK, but I don't think they have flash that you can buy in Russia. And if so, $200 dollars Canadian is like 5000 rubles in Russia" ok, so if it is $200 canadian, how much American?
You've used AS before. Well, you're modest. Still, you're alright compared to the complexity of Canthiar or kevin_karplus's projects. Those would take skills to make.
Also, make sure you actually have a full version of the flash program if you want to make a lot of flash. The ones you can download are only good for 30 days. My dad bought me a student's version of flash 8 for $200.
It's possible to make a sonic game, it has been done before. But I would recommend that you make small games and work your way up. The art and level design alone for that kind of game would take about a month if you pace yourself.

It's about the same in USD. But it's way harder to learn than scratch.

It's possible to make a sonic game, it has been done before. But I would recommend that you make small games and work your way up. The art and level design alone for that kind of game would take about a month if you pace yourself.

Do you think it is possible to make a remake of "Sonic The Hedgehog"? I mean, consider even the best AS users.
