I'm just getting started in DBC so I am borrowing code from the existing examples.

I have a randomized matrix. You push the left or right cursor to scroll either way, but when the matrix comes to the point where it is supposed to be seamless there is a glitch.

I changed the height of the matrix and the speed at which the original program moved (I think that's what I changed). What am I doing wrong?

You need to shift at the edge of each tile (ie when tile width -/+ position=matrix tile size, in this case 10 due to size/divisions in matrix)

Posted your code modified below

+ Code Snippet

sync on:sync rate 40
rem ##matrix is 200x150 with 20x20 divs, so tiles are 10x7.5##
make matrix 1,200,150,20,20
randomize matrix 1, 5

do

if leftkey()=1 then sx#=sx#+.2
if rightkey()=1 then sx#=sx#-.2
rem if at edge of matrix tile shift matrix
if sx#<-10.0
	shift matrix left 1
	sx#=sx#+10.0
endif
if sx#>10.0
	shift matrix right 1
	sx#=sx#-10.0
endif
rem set height of ground
position matrix 1,sx#,-5,sz#
sync
loop

Think it should be ok
