Smooth scrolling

How to make the "camera" follow a platform character but with a smooth movement when my character stops or accelerate???

excuse my english.

thanks.

For a start you can do:

Every Tick

----Scroll to Position X = lerp(scrollx, character.X, 0.05);

          Position Y = lerp(scrolly, character.Y, 0.05);

Change de last value , in this case 0.05 to values between 0 and 1 where 0 doesn't move at all, 0.5 moves at 50% velocity, 1 moves at 100% velocity , that is, same velocity of character.

Thanks Kiyoshi!!!

If you need some art or animations for your games, glad to help if i can. <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

If you want nice camera effects is it convenient to have an invisible 'camera' object which has the scroll-to behaviour.

alejo Wow great colors and line art :D Very good ! I have some nice ideas already :D~

This is exactly what I wanted.

This works awesome, thank you so much - really got the jitter out of my game for small movements.

This is great thanks, I love the LERP function, simple but so effective.
