Hi guys.

Got a little template here for you.

2 different ways to do parallax scrolling.

Scene-1 shows you how to do it using the scene camera controls to offset the different layers
Scene-2 shows you an easy way using velocities if you are doing constant scrolling.

Quick video here :

Just £5, and it's yours guys.

    Bump :) Just purchased the parallax scrolling template, and it's great - exactly what I need :)
    Worth every penny!

    ...Im surprised someone would pay for that with all the information thats around about doing parallax scrolling already.

    And good on Sparky for making money off of something that is easily searchable on the forums / google. Really.

    5 GBP is so cheap, that I didn't even think about losing my time, searching the forums :P

    Just to chip in here:

    @Random
    Yeah...the info contained in the template IS on this forum. In fact....if you search hard enough, you will find that I have posted how to do parallax both using the camera to control the speed, and using actor's speeds to controll the layers, myself.
    But in my experience, people want to have the code "at hand" to see how it all works.
    Case(s) in point, since I posted it 4 months ago, people have bought it....and who am I to judge that?

    I was also posted at a time when about 5947584793 a day asked the EXACT same question about how to do parallax! ;)

    All my templates for sale via this forum are not about "making a game". I don't make templates that are ready to go once you chuck in a bit of artwork and make some levels.
    I make templates that (hopefully) make you think about how to make the gamesalad engine work for you in ways that might not seem immediately obvious.

    To search the forums and find the exact info you need and then to manually code it in would take over n hour, for £5, its all there, simple. Don't wanna pay the fiver you can search the forums, for convenience, you can pay the small fee.

    I wasn't knocking it, I congratulated you on a job well done. :-)
