Has anyone heard of diep.io, or slither io or agar.io? if so, i want to make a game like those. I need to make it so that you can move around a large map in all directions, basically making it possible to scroll in all directions. Any help?

Here's a project that may help.

wow thats some complex scripts. would you mind adding comments for like every single block pleease

thanks!

Basically you want 2 new variables, camX camY or scrollx scrolly, then instead of changing x and y you change camX and camY

Use this code in the non-player sprites (myX and myY are this sprite only)

go to x: ((myX) - (camX)) y: ((myY) - (camY))

Since you're making agar.io when you spawn the food you'll want to set camX and camY to a random number to spread them out

Here's a simpler version

actually agar is too complex for me right now, so im making a different game, similar to diep io

also, what does cam mean? camera?

yo dude in the diep io test project you sent me the grid sprite had a size of 200, and i copied the costume and tried to make it 200% but it didnt work. do you know why?

Also, this might be off-topic, but how does the right arrow minus left arrow pressed thing work?

is it because when true it is has a value of 1 and when false it has a value of 0?

Scratch only allows you to go to a certain point, so you make a blank costume and you can set that to whatever size you want, then just change back to the costume you want to be big.

yeah, basically
if you're pressing right arrow it will be 1 - 0, if you're pressing left it will be 0 - 1, and if you're pressing both it will be 1 - 1, so you'll move in the corresponding directions of 1 -1 and 0

oh ok thanks

Also, now that you have helped me with the scrolling basic parts, can you help me with making it so that it is infinetly scrolling, because when I use the script which you made, then it has invisible borders which you cant go past.

If you don't know how to help me with that then can you just help me with making the borders visible please?

thanks

Never mind (again) I figured it out just after posting this, so please ignore

yo i need more help again and basically if u check out my project, you will see that ive added a chest with no purpose at the moment. now i have given it a certain position at the moment and to find it you must change you y by a negative amount. but the problem you will notice is that the chest keeps shaking a bit, unless youre completely still. can you help me fix it?

For any kind of shaking you can use a broadcast (e.g. Go to) and then make it so that when that's called the sprite goes to the designated spot. Call the broadcast in the same loop that changes camX and camY in the player sprite.
