Hi everyone,

One of my Middle School students is trying to use a 32x32 image as tilemap, but the image is being cropped. What can he do to get the full image shown and used?

Thanks for your help,

Is the skyscraper image meant to be a map or a background image? If you are trying to create a tilemap, then you should use the `camera follow` block from the `scene` category; this will make it so that the image scrolls as the player moves around.

If you are just trying to create a building as a background image, then you should use the `set background image` block in the scene category.

I hope that helps!

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your answer. Sadly, when he tries to use it as a background image the building becomes too small (like an 1/8 of the screen), and there is no resize tool either. What would you suggest us to do?

Kindly,
