Add a new dimension in Scratch with Parallax

[@musicmanjoe7117]

This is actually really helpful, this tutorial should be shown to all scratchers.

Theses are very helpful, thank you I been working well More like trying to make a game for my sister and it could use this to help it look more lively.

Great to hear!

This does work, but there is a more efficient way: • Add all of the sprites into one object • Create a list containing all of the parallax values • Make the object create a bunch of clones and use "for this sprite only" variables to give each one an ID • Assign each clone an value from the list and make it set that to its own parallax value • Follow the steps in the video for making parallax sprites and boom, you're done While it's more complicated for beginners, it can be useful if you want to add new parallax sprites quickly Though it does also have the downside of using clones, you can just use a more complicated method of stamping

[@atomecstudios]

Thanks for your ideas. I've used the cloning method you describe, and agree it's much more efficient. When you're teaching these concepts, you're often faced with a dilemma between teaching what's easy and teaching what's efficient. Because this Scratch Hacks series is aimed at beginners, our philosophy is mostly to go with easy over efficient. Having said that, we do love when our viewers point out alternative ways to do things, so thanks for contributing to the conversation!

Sounds like he's just trolling. Pay no attention. It's really awesome to see kids trying their hand at making tutorials! I just gave you a sub! Keep it up!

ive seen one from steamist and you explain better no speeding up or anything

[@atomecstudios]

Thanks! We're trying hard to explain the concepts in detail, rather than just telling people what blocks to put down. I'm a teacher by profession, so I'm just doing what comes naturally.

Another way to make a value negative other than ((value)*[-1]) is to use ([0]-(value))

[@atomecstudios]

Good point. In fact, we're using that method in our next video, on scrolling backgrounds
