Hi...I'm trying to make a 2D Side Scroller game using DirectX 8. I got the model ready. He's rendered and can be moved left and right, facing the direction he's walking. Does anyone have any tutorials, examples, or any sites I should check out in order to make a level or map for the character. I want to be able to side scroll left and right such as Super Mario on SN.
Try to check out:

Umm...I dont see anything that tells me how to scroll the background. :S Thanx anyways!
Umm I need serious help on how to do this. :p please help me! How am I suppose to do this? I want to make like a level for the game. Do I use a matrix or something?
The NoteMe was right. You should go there and read all the tutorials from Jack Hoxley abou 2D programming...
Anyhow you will not need to use matrix, only to draw a lot of vertices and to assign to them a textures you need
Umm I read all the 2D tutorials, which is like 4 of them. I know how to initialize DirectX, how to put a texture on the screen, change the texture to create an animation, etc. When it comes to making levels, i'm lost! I don't know how to create a level, make the background move with my character, etc.
There is a space shooter example in the DX7 SDK...maybe you can have a look and have an idea of what to do...
I think it was in the Misc categori...
...or look here...
