Okay, admittedly I did ask Chris for some advice before Christmas in regards to the making the background scroll and he basically showed me what the code was, but it's been a while since then and I forgot how to do it already(in hindsight I should have done it then and there). So this morning I spent some time trying to code the scrolling when the arrow keys are pressed, and I did it. I'm kind of proud of myself actually, clearly I've come a long way since the start of the course, I can now do simple action script on my own.
I know that this doesn't look like much to the experienced coder or something but to me this is like climbing Mt. Everest.
I put the action script on the timeline because linking script files to game files is still far too advanced for me, but I'm making some amazing progress with my code skills.
Now that I've got the scroll to work I have to work on how fast it scrolls and stuff, oh and also the animation for the bats needs code... Well instead of despairing about doing more code I'm just going to bask in my glory for the time being.
