I need help with creating levels for my next game.(BlitzBasic) – kurtp2003

kurtp2003 Member Posts: 48 From: minnesota, US Registered: 01-20-2006	This may sound funny, but I've been programming with blitz for about a year, and I still have no clue how to make a side scrolling style level without it being two massive picture (background and foreground) that I have to waste about a minute loading. I've heard that you can do this with banks, but I don't have a clue how because I never learned that particular skill. Other than that I'm pretty confident my experience is sufficient.

kurtp2003 Member Posts: 48 From: minnesota, US Registered: 01-20-2006	Thanks anyway. It really isn't a big deal. I'm used to figuring things out for myself. Anyway, as I may or may not have mentioned(I didn't read my original message before I started writing this reply, so I don't remember), my next project will be a platformer. I'm hoping to turn out a complete game for once, and give my older projects a rest for a while.
