No Grey/Bouncer.
Prof was right to a point, we where both talking about moving the HW pointer, the difference is Prof is saying i'm wrong about scrolling on the Amiga, and also that you cannot do the same on a PC - when you can - and he's saying the only way to do it is with a big image and that other methods are, and I quote, "rubbish".
You can do both the big image in the view window thing, and you can do dynamic scrolling (with tiles or image blocks) on both the Amiga and the PC. The only difference is now you have four co-ords to adjust instead of 1 - which gives you loads more power for some funky special effects.
I used Prof's method in some of my games, it's fine for small maps. I also used the other method I and others previously described at the start of the thread, which was fine for big stuff and great for parallax layers that where not constant (ie: had some variety in them). It certainly wasn't rubbish, and it wasn't Prof's most endeering moment when he said I was talking rubbish and he knew better - when frankly, he's not listening to a word i've said.
