Howdy guys, I'm a bit of an old school "klik-er", I never evolved into Multimedia Fusion. Went from Klik and Play to Click and Create into the original Games Factory and decided that was far enough for me.

Is it possible to do parallax scrolling (i.e. scrolling backgrounds moving at different speeds to create the illusion of depth) in a Games Factory platformer?

I found an old "Click and Create" tutorial on a different website, but I can't get it to open in TGF.

Thanks!

Hi. I have two open source examples on my website. One without layers and one with 4 layers.

Thank you for the response, as it appears this is what I'm looking for. However, the file appears to be in .mfa format, whereas I'm using The Games Factory. Would you happen to know where the original .gam file could be located?

The Sonic fangame headquarters has a lot of old examples.

There's one ^


The problem with using The games factory is the lack of layer support. Parallax has to be active objects only.
