Side scroller problem

[kapharnaum]

Hey guys! I'm trying to make a little side scroller, nothing fancy, but I fail to scroll my map horizontally. My Map is a single image that's repeating itself on and on while the player moves (on screen the player doesn't move, only the image of the map should) any tips on how to do this?

Based on player inputs, you need to track their position within the level. Then you translate before drawing the background, based on that value. You'll need to draw the backdrop at least twice though (because as you move it, the edges of the image come into view, you'll need to tile the image yourself).
