i know this question has come up alot, but how can i scroll a simple bmp across the screen as a background. The bmp file will be very long and 480 pixels in height. The game is a 2d side scroller. From right to left. I know nothing about doing this. Thx. I'm in DB, not DB pro

The way I'd do it, is by loading the image and applying that as a texture on a large plain. Then I'd simply scroll the texture or I could move the plain back and forth. Hope this helps, I'm not used to working 2D in DB. I'm only in this forum because of my extreme boredome at 4:36 AM...

Yeah..scrolling plains is the best way. Even though I come from a 2D background, and tiled games are a fun coding challenge, 3D is now the new 2D. It is very easy to do once you try it.
