You could check the Turing Walkthrough.
OR you could repetedly draw a picture with View.Update to make it look like its scrolling.
However, this is a long, dumb and unprofessionnal idea.

where is it in the walkthrough? If I need to, i might move everything else and keep the character in the same spot, but Im trying to avoid that.

You could check how B-Man 31 did it here: http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=23827 in his PapiJump game.
