Tutorial 37.11 - Making the Background Scroll (PyGame Python)

Here we go again, The new series continues, this time where we all contribute to the development of the game.

In this video, We take another big step in learning the mechanics of pygame, this time....... we need to understand how to make the background scroll so it looks like the man is walking thru a scene :D

Also give details of the book I will be using for the series, the links to the books can be see on my forum.

"HUNCHBACK", The return of Quazzy Osbourne :D

Yes, after an intense debate around all things development "Hunchback" was chosen, using the development tools "Kick Assembler" and VS Code.

Great video man this really helped out with a project im doing!

15:28 You'd think a GPU could scroll a bitmap a lot more smoothly than that. Even complied code could probably do that.

18:46 Okay, the "blit" code probably is efficient, but there's no efficient method available for the network-window protocol. Is there any significant CPU load while doing that?
