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: > **[parallax-demo](https://arcade.makecode.com/30802-49821-21694-20642)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Great! > **[Parallex](https://arcade.makecode.com/35786-42530-51938-14459)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. And this make me remembered my Parallex ext, did it long time before. It suit of project “small” objects in % chance. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/0/0b4734cfa3d0d719e122ed8407b6a56a4a0a10bf.png) (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.) ---

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. ---

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. ---
