Hi,

 have a look at the following game sample on the wiki.

 For the scores,

 For the endless background:

 have two identical planes for the background.

as the user moves, you will need to detect when the first plane gets near the edge and move the second plane so that it's next, and so son, as the user gets near the edge of the second plane, move the first plane.

 one possible easier way to manage this, would be to instantiate and destroy as you go.

Study the following Fsm. They should give you some good hints as to how you could approach this endless background scrolling.

If you are having trouble with this, I think this game sample would be a good base to provide an example of a scrolling background, so that you have a working example.


 Bye,
