Hi,
I would like to buy your book, but will it help me create a platformer with multi-scrolling or at least horizontal left-and-right scrolling?
Thanks.
In the book, I cover both horizontal tilemap scrolling and vertical scrolling (used in the title screen to display the logo).
So, by combining these two techniques, you can achieve multi-directional scrolling.
Clearly, the book doesn't address typical platformer topics like jump physics, tile collisions, etc.
