If you could have any character in your scrolling background project, what character would you want? :D

[@Quackery415]

Wow, I haven't really used Scratch for 5-6 years, and knowing that it was still active and inspiring others was wonderful.

[@diamondmario64]

lol same, pretty neat

[@arvee9129]

as a professional scratcher who has made loads of unshared projects I would like to say this works and beginners should definitely watch this tutorial

[@skatzoxoiros869]

As a beginner, why scratch and not other more advanced programming platforms? I mean scratch can be fun and beginner friendly, but it seems too limiting for more complex projects.

[@arvee9129]

@@skatzoxoiros869 scratch allows you to be creative, but work with a limited experience. I have used other programming stuffs but scratch is better for begginers. Its not the best, its just good

Hi, I've been coding with scratch for a while now, so thanks for constantly updating and making scratch a better website, its awesome and I love it! By the way, your tutorials are super helpful, thanks for spending time teaching us the basics of coding!

Scratch is kinda like stopmotion☹️

[@josephmoore5708]

I love these videos and how far they have gotten me. While the things they make are a little basic, they actually teach us the fundamentals of the game instead of just telling us how to make something without telling us what is going what. Great job guys. 😊

[@tuckerbetz9585]

This is perfect, right when I needed it :) It makes me feel better to use official scratch content too

If you watch griffpatch you'll know that he create tutorial that is insane, like creating a platformer game, or even title scrolling background game like Mario, he also has the most followers on scratch. He's the best scratcher (and KZbinr) for me.

[@Vinxster]

Thanks! I'm currently in the process of making a game, and I've made it so that it only scrolls when you move. Your video helped a lot, I'll be sure to credit you when I publish the video.

[@dhruvchatterjeee5496]

Thanks a lot! I am trying to make a Scratch horror game and in one scene there was a security guard walking to work, I didn't know how to make the background move sideways infinitely, thank a lot, it helped!

[@pizzapieperson]

Horror games are not allowed on scratch because the scratch team are babies

[@veto_real]

[@HeroDevv]

im making a project with 1 sprite for a challenge and i have enemies, a player, a gun that follows the mouse and doesnt go upside down, and now i wanna add a top-down scrolling backround so i kinda have to use clone blocks lol

[@whyamihere.b]

fun fact: this was published on my birthday

[@bloxworld2847]

Tip: to make the edges line up perfectly, just press “convert to bitmap”, then press convert to vector

[@voidbyteyt]

you will get a pixelated image

[@Chose_246one]

I like your background music in every video

[@mightyjhesstiongson4938]

We've been studying scratch programming at school but I didn't know how to do that. Very helpful!

[@arisinger4534]

Thank you Zinnea, this is exactly what I was trying to figure out how to do, except I want to do it with a streetscape, and have my character skateboarding across! Really appreciate your easy to understand explanation, really helpful :)

[@wutugotjuju]

that sounds like a great project idea

[@AdamBuyang898]

Her voice is much easier than the screen thanks scratch team

[@RJVZBloxerYT]

Thank you scratch team for making this wonderful coding website. I wanted my games to become an actually game. But other websites are too advanced. And now I have this my dreams are real life. Thanks Scratch Team! :)

[@BullySculkyScratch]

Thanks , Zinnea you helped me with my game A LOT!!!!

[@taluladoesthehulainhawaii9012]

You can actually use only one sprite as a backgorund, just put "create a clone of myself" after the "when flag is clicked" amd then put "when I start as a clone" and then the code you used for the second sprite

[@ĐứcAnhPham-x1t]

[@therobloxiancheese]

Thank you so much! I was trying to make a Chrome Dino game in Scratch, and the original tutorial that I was following was a bit too advanced. So I searched up this vid and it was suprisingly easier than the one that I originally followed!

[@CoolScratcher]

I've always wanted the ST to branch off into more advanced topics, and this is perfect. Consider doing generative art, custom procedures (well, my blocks. I hate the new name 😞), cloud, and/or scrolling platformers. That would help a lot of confused Scratchers.

[@mouhiazeck]

This is unironically the best scrolling background tutorial I've seen, thank you so much!!

[@AntiCassNeedsHelp]

I was trying to add the scrolling background!

[@viktorijajumike9133]

Very informative and nice! Thank you! I learned a lot from you in few days. But I have another question about the backgrounds. I made a little intro for my game and now have reached the Menu part. I did that and I am working to ad the next background as I wish that after the button will be pushed it will be able to go to the actual game (few games in one scratch project). But I try to figure out how to make the other background to disapear until It is its turn because right now the third background is trying to be already in the first page witch I do not want. I think I managed to do this with the second background but forgot how. :D

[@Pepa05]

Use a block called "hide" and to show use "show"
