How to speed up my layout?

Hey guys! Im a newbie when it comes to construct 2 and Im making a game like Jetpack Joyride, an infinite runner if you will. Ill upload the capx but I was wondering how do I get the layout to speed up over time? If you could tell me, link me to a tutorial or something that would be great! I appreciate anybodies help :D

Thanks!!

im about to get a capx file in a sec! :)

Edit*

Here it is! This is my first time using dropbox so im not sure if Ive posted it correctly

You have some nice art there! That man's running animation is hilarious!

To make something acellerate.

Basically, in your movement code, you are currently saying

set x to self.x + 40 * dt

or something, right?

To add acelleration, just change the constant to a variable:

set x to self.x + speed * dt

and every tick, or every X seconds, add something to that speed variable.

If you don't understand, mention me with sqiddster so I don't lose the thread ;)

Thank you for the compliments! I just tried out your game(and really liked it!) and I really appreciate that!

I get it now, but if I want to make a certain group of trees go faster than another group I would just make another variable called faster speed right and I would write in

set x to self.x + fasterspeed * dt

right?

Thanks again!

Yep, that would work. Alternatively, you could do something like 'speed * 1.2', which would probably be more efficient ;)

ahhh, Im still getting used to all the stuff like that.

While your enlightening a noob, I see gaps in my scrolling platform, any idea how to fix that?

Ah, gaps. I have heard of that problem but I have forgotten the solution :P

Try a forum search perhaps?

sqiddster I did, but with no luck im afraid, maybe its my computer, where there gaps when you ran it aswell? It seems to get larger as it goes on

Have you tried just adding to timescale? If there are other things you want to move at a constant speed you could just set them to normal with each increase.
