Sorted all the bugs I could see, and now we have a fully wrapped (scrolls forever) world made from six 1024 x 1024 tiles. The ship now moves toward the top and bottom of the screen when you reach the limits, instead of being stuck in the centre.
Please note this is only temporary artwork. The background is another space image I liked and have borrowed for a bit. I'll create my own artwork in a few weeks.
I have a royalty free CDROM chocka full of images of Outer Space for this very reason of creating scrolling backgrounds if you want. I was making a space game on the PC many years ago like Privateer where you look out the cockpit and can go 360 degrees. Side scrolling of course across the cockpit window to give the illusion. Same thing.
ReplyDeleteIf you can split a tile down the middle at flip eachside they automatically plug into the next. Make half a dozen of those and it doesnt matter at the edges.

Yeah, I'll have a look.
