Hey folks,
I updated arcade-background-scroll to support parallax! You can now have multiple layers to your backgrounds and scroll them all independently. Here’s a demo:

Great!
And this make me remembered my Parallex ext, did it long time before. It suit of project “small” objects in % chance.
(I changed physical engine a little at that time, and which has updated now, so the car jumping doesn’t work correctly, have not have time to debug it yet. But the parallex works.)

This is really cool
I’m going to make another request. Can we be able to use tiles in backgrounds? I’d imagine if a tile-based background (using the tilemap editor, maybe just without the option to add collision) was implemented it would be more efficient than a tilemap converted to an image. I just came up with this idea randomly, and Idk if it’s easy to implement or not.

Hi there !
Background-scroll is so cool !
How can I make those blocks appear on my tools panels when I am programming a tutorial ?
||scroller:scroll background with|| trying this. Nothing.
@sbergeroncp Vous devrez inclure le dépôt à la fin de votre tutoriel.
sbergeroncp You’ll need to include the repo at the end of your tutorial.
```package
scroller=github:microsoft/arcade-background-scroll
```
Yes I did.
But it did not work yesterday for some reason.
The pink blocks showed in preview but in red.
Working now !

is it possible to make some layers in front of everything?
@Jedi not currently. What are you trying to do?
well i want there to be a parallax background in front of everything, the sprites, the tilemap, etc. it would move faster making the illusion that it was closer to the camera.
