I was wondering how you get the background world to move in an overhead 2d RPG like Baldur''s Gate or Diablo. I want to try making my text RPG into a 2d freeware game, I already have the programs for creating art and I know how to work with sprites. If anyone could tell me how to get the background to work right, please tell me, or better yet, if you have a 2d engine you''d be willing to share, that would be great!

an easy thing to solve this is to place a sprite on the place where you want to animate, for example a tree, and cycle through the animation frames of this sprite.

This link is a test applet I made to try scrolling with a sprite. Its buggy and doesn't work just right but I learned alot from the attempt and am currently working on the next incarnation.

Edit: email me if you want to see the source; also look in the reference articls on this site for tile scrolling articles.
