I am looking for samples on how 2D scrolling. e.g. typcial side-scroller game is done.

Any hints?

Thanks

I do a bit of 2d scrolling in this project:

Hi kruemel42

There are different ways that you can do this, some of which are documented here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side-scrolling_video_game

In addition to looking at YstadYakuza's link, you could also look at the ActionGameDemo that is in the GameEngine2D samples, as this implements some level of side scrolling (although not for very far).

How do I add the custom "PssFramework" as a reference to the Demo file? When I first open Demo, it said "Reference Ignored" and I cant run it because I dont know how to link a reference from the Demo project to the PssFramework project.

Please help!

Hmm... the code I provided should already have a reference in the Demo project to the PssFramework project. But if it doesn't, go the Demo project in MonoDevelop, right click on the "References" item and select "Edit References...". From there, go to the "Projects" tab and tick the "PssFramework" project.

Well I put the download zips onto my desktop. I dont know exactly where the "Projects" directory is. I even placed the PSSFramework into My Documents/Projects and it still doesnt show up.

What is the particular  folder directory? Because when I do edit References and go to Project, the selection is empty and I cant browse for the path directory.

Sorry, Im new to PS Suite / MonoDevelop

C# solutions are divided into projects. My solution has two projects, "Demo" and "PssFramework". The Demo project should already include a reference to PssFramework.

"PssFramework.sln" is the solution file that you should be opening. It will then open up the two included projects.
