Backgrounds and Layers?

Hello, im new to these forums but have been browsing them for awhile. I am currently developing a java platform puzzle/adventure game and wanted to use layers that resemble how this game is using layers and their backgrounds.

It seems to make the game look more edgy. If anyone knows of tutorials or examples with source for this or where to search/ Besides google.com please reply and let me know.

Thankyou :smiley:

The magic search term you’re looking for is “parallax scrolling”. It’s pretty easy, you just have to scroll different background layers at different speeds based on their depth. That’s all there is to it really.

Yup, it’s very simple. And you also just draw the backmost thing first, then the next layer on top, all the way to the foreground. Easy.

alright sounds simple enough just needed to see if there was more too it. thanks for the replies. Once i get a working version ill post it up somewhere in these forums :slight_smile:
