Scrolling Screen in Platformers

-----------------------------------

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I am trying to make a game similar to mario.


What is the problem you are having?
I don't know how to make the screen scroll.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I don't even know where to start.  I haven't programmed too long.


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)








Please specify what version of Turing you are using

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.
