1) Select a background
2) Make a variable scrollx ( This will be indicating the position of the land)
3) Draw your land
4) Make this scripts for land:

when green flag clicked
show
set size to (you choose here) %
set [ scrollx] to [0]

This will be reseting the position when you start
5) Make this scripts to the script you started:

forever
set x to (scrollx)
end

This will set the position of the land when you are moving
9) Draw your character
10) Make this script to the character:

when green flag clicked
if <key [right arrow ] pressed?> then
change [ scrollx] by (the speed you choose)
end
if <key [ left arrow] pressed?> then
change [ scrollx] by (the negative speed you choose)
end

If you want to add more platforms duplicate the land and change the second one like this:

forever
set x to ((scrollx) + (480))
end

and the third must be like:

forever
set x to ((scrollx) + (960))
end

I hope the scripts work, thanks for looking this

THANKS YOU

Simple, take an ordinary platformer, add two new variables named player pos x and player pos y , then replace the move movement blocks with some thing like this: instead of if right arrow pressed change x by 10 do if right arrow pressed change player pos x by 10. To add in the scrolling component give your object sprite forever set x to (insert desired x position)-player pos x. you can do the same thing with player pos y to constantly move to the correct position.

J2hub

for movement another thing you could do to refine your project is add blocks like ground check which will do this: move your player sprite down a bit, if its touching your ground sprite it moves you back up until you are not touching the ground. I would recommend making a custom block with run without screen refresh on just to make it instant and put this inside your movement infinity loop. you should also do this sort of thing for wall detection, it moves you the direction you are trying to move if you are touching your object sprite it moves you back.

All you have to do is
1) Select a background
2) Make a variable scrollx ( This will be indicating the position of the land)
3) Draw your land
4) Make this scripts for land:
when
clicked
show
set
size
to
you
choose
here
%
set
scrollx
to
0
This will be reseting the position when you start
5) Make this scripts to the script you started:
forever
set
x
to
scrollx
This will set the position of the land when you are moving
9) Draw your character
10) Make this script to the character:
when
clicked
if
key
right arrow
pressed?
then
change
scrollx
by
the
speed
you
choose
if
key
left arrow
pressed?
then
change
scrollx
by
the
negative
speed
you
choose

If you want to add more platforms duplicate the land and change the second one like this:

forever
set
x
to
scrollx
+
480

and the third must be like:

forever
set
x
to
scrollx
+
960

I hope the scripts work, thanks for looking this

Ok, I can show you but there will be lots of code! I will talk about 2 sprites. Those are the only sprites.
Make a platforms sprite. Do this code on the platforms sprite.

when green flag clicked
switch costume to [ Blank]
set size to (1000) %
switch costume to [ Level 1]

Blank should be a costume that has nothing.
Level 1 should be your level. Make sure the platforms are super small in the costume because small it will be big in the screen.
Now do this code in the platforms sprite.

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [ right arrow] pressed?> then
change x by (-8)
end
if <key [ left arrow] pressed?> then
change x by (8)
end
end

Put this in the platforms sprite too. Put the same numbers that I put.

when green flag clicked
forever
if <<key [ up arrow] pressed?> and <touching [ Player] ?>> then
repeat (8)
change y by (-8)
end
repeat (8)
change y by (8)
end
end
