About a week ago, I posted a message (at least tried to) that seems to have gotten lost. I'm going to try again, and if you saw this before please excuse meI am trying to write a game, but for it to look like I want it to, I have to have a big, scrolling background (as is Alien Mind, Zany Golf, As the Link Turns, Thexder, etc., etc.) Does anybody know how to create and save a large background like this? Also, what do you think would be the best way to scroll it quickly? Thanks in advance for your help.

Network Comment to message from pnet01!crash!pro-avalon.cts.com!jstich The best way to do large screen scrolling like you want is to use a method called Tiling (Tile+ing). The method is to complex to go into here, but if you'd like to know more, either contact me direct or wait for my article in Call-APPLE which talks about it. -Brian
