LÖVE

Now, the idea is, that I have a semi transparent background at the top, and an opaque background at the bottom.
both of them randomly moving/scrolling, now, I have 2 problems with this, I put this at the top:
and then this at the bottom:
But all this does is draw background1, not background2 (which is the semi-transparent one).
That was the first problem, now I need the second one, I have absolutely no idea how to make them both randomly (but smoothly) scroll.
Thanks for the help!

We need a .love in order to help you out.

Not sure why'd you need one, since I told you the code, but whatever, here:

It is combining the 2, actually.
I needed the .love to make sure the images were actually transparent, etc.

Hm, so is there anyway to separate them 2?

What do you mean? It should be exactly what you want, if I'm understanding you correctly. It is drawing both of them, with 2 at the top, and 1 at the bottom.

Oh, it is!
Haha, 1 has stars that look similar to 2, so I thought it was just 1.
I asked you how I can separate them because I thought they were both merged into one image, and I don't want that since I want them both to smoothly and randomly move. Hope you can understand what I'm saying.

Ah. No, they are not actually "merged", I just meant that they were both being drawn.
To get the scrolling effect, you can just set the x value for the images, and use it as the second argument in love.draw. This should look how you want.

Code: Select all

function love.load()
    background=love.graphics.newImage('space1.png')
    background2=love.graphics.newImage('space2.png')
    background1x = 0
    background2x = 0
    dir =  -16
end

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.draw(background, background1x )
    love.graphics.draw(background2, background2x)
end

function love.update( dt )
    background2x = background2x + dir * dt
end

This should look how you want.

That looks AWESOME! Thank you so much for all your help. The result was better than what I was planning!

One more thing, how do I "loop" it?
