Parallax and Scrolling Effects

Make a lesson and code around Parallax. Integrate ideas so they can be adapted by the Teacher project. Add elements to improve transitions screens and backgrounds. Below are a couple of ideas, but there should be many more.

  • Use a transition effect to smoothly move from the start screen to the game screen, etc.

  • Overlaying Backgrounds
    • Implement a dual-layered background system where the primary background is static, and a passive background moves to create a parallax effect.
    • Adjust the opacity or blending mode to avoid shadows of the player moving over the screen. Discuss how this works.
  • Association with Character Movement
    • Synchronize the screen scrolling speed with the player’s movement speed.
    • Consider incorporating easing functions for a smoother scrolling effect.
  • Transition Screen
    • The start screen could have things to select levels for the Game or Competition in Multiplayer (Groups)
    • The end screen could be more focused on results automatically.
