So I searched and din't find much about this. Say I had a program thathad the window zstandard. And I drew a line at (25,0,30,0)
How could I move the character, so that he stays as the center, but the screen shifts around him? Does it have to do with playing with xmin, ymin, etc? |

| That could possibly work, you'd have to do the math behind it though. But from what I have read, while going through some of the projects here, is that most of the people are using apps like xLib or Celtic III to help achieve it. I have never had to do this so I'm not 100% for sure. |

| So like, if I wanted my guy to move, I would do a getkley thing with boolean, but on the ymin etc? |

| Wouldn't you have to redraw the line every time then, because of the screen clearing whenever you change the window variables? |

| Aww did think of that. XD. When games do it, is the window moving, or are all the lines moving. That seemes more reasonable. |

| I think it varies from game to game. Some I think the character moves, others the place moves around them and then others both. I'm not sure though. I'd wait for one of the more experienced guys to answer that. |

Most people would shift the screen with ASM libs.
In pure basic, I believe that the difference between the two options you mentioned is more influenced by programming style, since each one requires about equal work. (i.e. you still must redraw all the lines, either way) |

| Collision detection using pixels would have to be rewritten to compensate for the non-static window settings, which I wouldn't go for. |

| Aight. Thanks. Just wondering. I might attempt a game with a little graphics, where instead of screen mving, you go through doors and such. |

a good way to make the screen shift is to use the celtic3 command identity(6,shift_number_of_times,direction,screen_update) this will allow you to move everything but you must redraw whats offscreen
the directions are
left : 1
right : 2
up : 4
up-left : 5
up-right : 6
down : 8
down-left : 9
down-right : 10
Edit: another way to do it would be to set everything to two master variables and make them move the opposite direction of the button you push and you dont have to redraw it, atleast i didnt when i tried it i made a blob in the center of the screen and made it move around a box
