I have been playing around with the code that Mr. Morrison provided for a side scroller. After a little fiddling I now understand how the background scrolls like a panel/tile. Is there a way to load a load a long .gif (like a super mario background) that scrolls instead of the tile setup?

Right now my program has the viewing screen set at the 640x480. The .gif I want to scroll is around 3000 pixels in width (just something small to test). I have toyed with the code, but the best I could get it to do is blur everthing after the 640 pixel width.

Thank you :)
