STOP MAKING SO MANY THREADS

And you need to write a script that controls that.

I wrote advanced controls lib for warioware psp.

Well, i think it's like:

red = Color.new(255, 50, 0)
function rofl()
screen:print(180, 130, "pwntr", red)
end
while true do
pad = Controls.read()
if pad:cross() then
-- Now when you hold the button, then it runs the function looping, but after you release...
rofl()
end
-- then happens this
screen:clear()
end

yuor questions dont always get answered in there

[Rixorster]

Yep, nobody answered my sidescrolling question <.<

[SG57]

I dont blame em', do it yourself, and if you cant, thats kinda pathetic... You have the entire internet at your fingertips and your asking someone else to do a simple sidescrolling backround? WOW, this day and age has gotten lazy!

If your still stuck on such an easy thing, either go to lumo's website and copy his if your desperate, or just do the easiest thing possible...

take your backround... make it 512 (right? the biggest it can hold?) x 272... blit it once at the co0ordinates 0x0 as something like 'x' and 'y' and then blit it again, but at the co0ordinates 512x0 as something like 'x2' and 'y2'.... Then simply have the 'x' and 'x2' both - what ever speed you want it to scroll in the while loop, or if statement or whatever... Then you have a scroling backround.. but it isnt done yet... Now add something like 'if x < -511 then x = 0 and x2 = 512 end'....

Im a little suprised at how some cannot use logical steps in order to do what they want....Or use google to ask something like '"scrolling backround program code"' or something, that will atleast give you something that explains whats going on in what ever language it is in, then that person could just base theres off the other one...

This scrolling backround may get a tad buggy since the co-ordinates are fixed 1 pixel away from there end, so if the speed is bigger then 1, youd have to shorten it up a bit...

Oh and in C, you can declare your images size, and if the images size was bigger then what ever the real dimensions were, it just copys it over, so in C you wouldnt need to blit it 2 times, just 1nce with the X dimension as 1024... But in LUA i dont no if that is true...

Patience is a virtue, if it goes back more than 2 pages, then ask someone to read it.

Common Sense is also a good quality when used...

Well, I did something like this in C a while ago, as a learning/test app. What I did was basically

for(; { //infinite loop
pspCtrlReadBufferPositive (&pad, 1); //reads what controls are pressed
while (pad. Buttons & PSP_CTRL_CROSS) { //while X is pressed

printf("hey you SOB!");
pspCtrlReadBufferPositive (&pad, 1); //reads what controls are pressed
}
pspDebugScreenClear;
} //end big infinite loop


I just did all that off the top of my head, but it should display hey you SOB! when and only when X is pressed. If not, then I need to go back and look at that code and how I did it...
