  I don't think you need a shader for this. If it's a power-of-two texture, you can use the power-of-two texture offsetting actions.

  You could probably hack it by moving the tiled background.

  If there was a way to really make it go forever, then you zoom out really far... erk... what then?

  You could try quicksave, jump to layout, play the cinematic sequence, then quickload. You should come right back to where you left off.

  There might be a few bugs with quicksaving and quickloading. Might need to submit a tracker item if things dont come back exactly as they were.

  Don't forget to use the 'No serialize' attribute for objects like XAudio2 which don't need to restore state.

  You should duplicate layouts. If it crashes, that's a bug. Did you report it to the tracker?

  Could you post the image file you're using that doesn't work correctly?

  Sorry. That was quite mean.

  Seriously though, breaking up long posts would probably help make them a lot more readable.

  No, current tech isn't anywhere near fast enough. A neuron may be bigger and slower than a microchip, but there are millions of them communicating with each other all the time, simultaneously. For a chip which can only do one thing at a time, that's a tall order. Unless you have as many chips as there are neurons in the human brain, which is around 10 - 100 billion. Got that many cores on your Athlon?

  It's able to if you turn off pathfinding, but it has to store cells in memory for the entire layout with pathfinding on. So if you have unbounded scrolling, where should it stop storing the layout in memory?
