I am wondering how do I always keep the screen center on one sprite. Because thats the only way I could think of making a 2d game with the screen changing as you walk.

It's not that hard! Forgive me if it doesn't work; I wrote it off the top of my head.

You can scroll everything else when you walk by just moving their positions normally and then just always sprite to the center of the screen.

Yeah, you can't virtually scroll the screen. The screen has to remain centred, cos thats how 2D works. You'll have to simulate the screen scrolling, by keeping the character sprite central and moving everything else.

So if you want to move your sprite two pixels to the left, you leave it centred and move everything else 2 pixels to the right.
