About Scrolling Backgrounds

[Dagfari]

Here's a technical question.  I want to take a large image many times the screen's length and scroll it across.  Let's assume world collision is not an issue, it's a simple matter of moving a chunk of graphics visually from one place to another.  Which method has the fastest processing time;

1) using a world and camera
2) translating an image
3) translating a sprite

If your drawing a solid video image, They'd all be about the same.

How big is this image ?

[Dagfari]

4000x600 and by the looks of it, you're right.  PlayBasic seems to crunch it no problem.

Erm 4000*600 !  What is it ?

a tile, haha, kidding... you'll see.
