Parallax scrolling is relatively easy to add. For each layer of background you multiply the scrolling factor by a greater number. For example, let's suppose you have a "scroll" variable that is relative to the player position. Let's also suppose you have a table with your layers of background, from the closest to the furthest:

Code: Select all

for i = #backgrounds, 1, -1 do
    local newScroll = scroll-(#backgrounds-i)*10
    love.graphics.draw(backgrounds[i], newScroll, 0)
end
