	Scrolling the camera with a side-scrolling video game - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
		Posted - 1/28/2005 3:44:10 PM My suggestion would be to only scroll the camera when the character gets a pre-determined distance to the sides of the screen then scroll the camera with the character.
		So you have your character, he starts running to the right say he's 100 pixels from the right side of the screen, start scrolling the camera.
		He does a quick turn around and runs at the left side of the screen, wait until the character is 100 pixels(or whatever you chose) from the left side of the screen and start scrolling it that way.

	VGASteve's Programming Lair
		A side scrolling game is a tile-based game where the player views the world from a side, as the world scrolls in all directions.
		The game engine I'm currently developing, SmoothBore(R), uses world coordinates to keep track of where the enemies are because the enemies need to move smoothly, instead of jerking from tile to tile.
		When you are playing a side scroller, you will notice that the screen is constantly scrolling, and hence the origin of the screen is constantly changing.

	Game Boy expands its empire - The Boston Globe
		This title comes closer than any other game so far to producing 3-D graphics, which is all the more impressive considering the game's visual perspectives change quickly, like those of a racing game.
		The graphical groundwork for all these games was laid by the venerable Tony Hawk series, and Tony Hawk's Underground somehow manages to improve on the series.
		These games and others this year must be commended for pushing the GBA to its technical limit.

		Game Freak is probably best known as the creator of the wildly popular Pokémon games for the Game Boy platform.
		Drill Dozer proves to be a great action game for the Game Boy Advance thanks to some creative, well-designed platforming elements and a number of classic-style boss battles, which keep the game uniformly intense throughout.
		It's not the longest game, but if you intend to find all the hidden treasures in the levels, there's plenty of gameplay to be had.

	Neo Contra for PS2 video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Contra games have been around for some time now and many of us have fond memories fighting through hordes of enemies trying to reach the end of a stage.
		Times have changed and for an old side scrolling game to survive, the gameplay has to change without losing the essence of the game or it can attempt to survive as a throwback game, relying on it’s nostalgic pull.
		NEO Contra however attempts a little of both as the side scrolling has been replaced with on overheard view but the constant flow of enemies and weapons firing is still represented.

	Flash Tutorial 1: Side Scrolling Game
		This game test presents all elements of the movie as objects, all with their own independent scripting and "awareness" to their surrounding, making the code more understandable, organized and modularized.
		Create a game in which one object navigates a small "world" in a mario side scrolling style fashion.
		The way the map works is that it is just one really wide movie clip - and instead of the bouncing guy movie left and right the background map moves in the opposite direction giving the illusion of a side scroll game.

	Donkey Kong Country Game Boy Colour Game Review
		Pumping the d-pad and pushing the buttons to get the jumps and rolls to match the timing of the creatures and pitfalls is no different to pumping the slide and blowing the valve of a brass bone to match the notes and tones to the beat of a conductor's wand.
		The creator of the original Donkey Kong, which itself was the original side-scrolling game, Shigeru Miyamoto has often talked about the influence of music in his work, that music has taught him how to set the pace of his games.
		Although it's required that a game like this challenges its players with an incredible number of levels, most simply offer variations on a theme, but with DK Country the brain storm machine has been left on over night and the variety of monkey action waiting throughout is impressive and worth jumping vultures for.

	Tom and Jerry - Platform Side-Scrolling Game
		This is a really fun platform (jumping) game where you're Jerry, the mouse, and you have to climb through the basement, pipes, walls, bathroom, attic, etc. of a house to rescue your little nephew Tuffy.
		Tom and Jerry was released commercially (yes, in a box, sold in stores) by Hi-Tech Expressions, probably my second favorite place to work.
		Tom and Jerry is an MS-DOS game, and uses the keyboard arrows and the shift, CTRL and space keys to switch power-ups, jump, and throw things.

	MacGamer - Get In The Game
		This is not a remake of the classic Mac game, but rather a reincarnation of that game's addictiveness and style.
		This is unfortunate, because an arcade game like Cobra Gunship really needs network play in order to allow gamers to get the most out of a fairly repetitious game such as this.
		Shortly after the game's release, Elysium Digital is expected to make freely available their Java mission editor, since Cobra Gunship allows you to play external missions.

		You played as a wizard (robes, white beard, pointed cap) who wielded a sword which you could swing in a 360 degree arc, controlled by a scroll wheel.
		I used to play this game all the time at the local arcade, probably between 1986 and 1987, but have never come across it again.

	Extreme Gamer - LocoRoco PSP Review
		LocoRoco is a hard game to classify mainly because it's such a simple concept that includes a number of gaming elements from different genres.
		I guess the side scrolling, puzzle; platforming game would be the most appropriate.
		A lot of the obstacles in the game come in the form of spikes, the evil Moja which can be huge in size and the games platforming puzzles that can get high in speeds.

		Game publisher Majesco, which you may remember got right the hell out of the top-shelf console games biz last March after they posted a $2.6 million loss on disappointing sales of major franchises, just announced their E3 lineup.
		The single PSP game on the list, Guilty Gear Judgment, is looking quite a bit better than it did at E3 last year.
		Most surprising is that Majesco will be localizing the Japanese game Cooking Mama, which is exactly what you think it is: a game that teaches you how to cook a variety of different recipies.

		Built fully in 3D but played with respect to traditional scrolling shooters, this first project from Gaming Side offers players the ability to switch between two views at any time in the game: side-scrolling and 3/4 overhead.
		The viewpoint switch not only shifts your plane of sight, it slightly shifts your track through the stage -- swap to blast certain enemies on a different line, or flip back to be able to move into areas of the stage not available in the opposite viewpoint.
		The game also features a leveling system for its 30 weapons as well as other ship upgrades, plus an experience point system for more detail on your progress.

	Review :: Viewtiful Joe - PS2
		His powers not only aid in helping you through the game, but if you use them correctly, you will gain a ton of Viewtiful Points, which act as Joe's currency to purchase power-ups and abilities at save spots (which are few and far between).
		Photographs of this game give it no justice, as the game moves a lot smoother than anyone would expect a 2-D side-scrolling game to do.
		My only complaint on the sounds is that the voiceovers for some of the bosses you fight are completely horrible, as their voices are gross and their English is incomprehensible (the shark boss is just awful).

		The game's producer, Tezuka Takushi, explained in the article that simultaneous play wasn't really possible in past side-scrolling Mario games because both players had to be restricted to the same screen, a problem the DS gets around nicely with its two screens and wireless capabilities.
		The game limits the versus mode to two players, but Tezuka said that there will also be minigames that can be played by up to four players.
		And as such, the developer is throwing in plenty of nostalgia-driven references to the original game.
