[LibGDX] Forground and background camera pan

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

What is the name of the effect where when your camera is panning in a game, the foreground is panning by at one speed and the background is panning by at a slower speed? I am looking to implement this in LibGDX so if someone could roughly outline how this is done I would be very grateful!

My brain has completely blanked here, I’ve seen this before but never programmed it!

I think you are talking about parallax scrolling. Is something like this?
If yes, you can do it by using one camera per layer.

#3

The flappy bird tutorial on kilobolt’s site might be interesting to look at.
It has a simple tutorial on parallax scrolling.

Yes indeed it is parallax scrolling! Thank you very much to you both :slight_smile:
