Scrolling Background - Tiles?

Hi all,

I have been programming java for about a year now and i have a fairly good understanding. But when it comes to RPG games i am so lost.

Really the main question i need to ask is how do i make the “background move”. Like in all the other RPG games, like i am walking and the back ground scrolls. Do i need to first create a massive image. And what gui would i use. I am so lost any help would be great.

I cant wait for ur reply.

Even a tutorial would be really helpful.

Sounds like you could use a library called ‘Planetation’ at http://www.scottshaver2000.com/

Never tried it myself, but I think that’s what you need.

Maybe this code ( www.icerain.de/trash/jwars.zip ) of my early work help you to get a start.
Tutorials could be found almost everywere try www.gamedev.net or google for +Tile +tutorial

Here is the game hat I am oking on that does what you are talking about. Just compile and run the driver and be in 1024x768 mode. I will try to make a quick tutorial for you by the end of the day or tomorow and I will post the link. For now here is my game engine:
