How to make a scrolling map?

treelink

how do you make a scrolling background like platformers when you go all the way to the right?

Can you please clarify a bit more?

For a scrolling platformer, you would either draw a huge map, all in one costume, and just give it inverted physics, (Basically the same script you wold use for a non-scrolling platformer, just reversed) or you could draw many different costumes of your platformer map, and the piece them together, having them show and hide as you go through the map.

Both ways work, second one is often higher quality, but a little trickier to pull off. I suggest using something like this: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/283414764/

Now that I think about it, 75% of my time playing computer games is scouting out bugs in my ow projects… Humph

Try:

when green flag clicked
switch costume to [supa tiny dot v]
set size to (1000) %
switch costume to [Map v]
