How do I make a background scroll for a platformer?
Sure! This can be done by creating a separate background sprite that moves in the opposite direction of the player.
Here are some steps…
1. The background will have to be large, so make sure to have a separate costume that contains a 1x1 box.
2. Then switch to the background, and set the size to 1000, and then switch to the background sprite. This will cause the background to overlay properly.
3. Then you can move the background as needed to create the scrolling effect.
Note: I agree with Link2358, griffpatch has amazing tutorials on this!
