Recently I've seen many games that are cool concepts and look great. Unfortunately, most have crap scrolling.

This zip includes 5 different methods of scrolling, all of which use no objects. They took me a total of 40 min to code

. Feel free to use them in games without giving me any credit. No need for screenshots, as it's open source, and made in TGF so everyone with TGF/MMF can use it. If you use it and claim you coded it though, I'll kill you.

All code works at any window size with any playfield size.

1) Simple centering scrolling. (platformer/rpg)
2) Simple 4 event keyboard scrolling. (RTS, etc.)
3) Simple 4 event mouse scrolling. (RTS, etc.)
4) 2 event(if TGF supported OR

) Race-Car scrolling.(or platformer)
5) 4 event Platform scrolling that looks 16(~12) pixels ahead in a direction(easy to change to 32 or more). Same falling as with race-car.

The Platform Scrolling took 5 minutes to make, and 5 to comment, save, zip, and upload.

Actually, I could make a smooth scrolling system where you look slightly farther in a direction(and look up and down too) in a few minutes ;)

"I just made such a system in 5 events. Took me about 40 seconds." Without any objects?

X_Sheep: You're right, it only took a few minutes. Since Phizzy thinks he can figure out those formulas though, I think I'll let him change the x scrolling to y scrolling for looking up and down. :P
