I'm stuck on the background making and I don't want this to stop me for too long (but I still want a really nice looking background for the first stage)
so the screen size is 640 x 480 so I want 3 backgrounds,
640 x 480 background (horizon), it scrolls horizontally but not vertically,
640 x 120 cloud layer, scrolls faster horizontally but not vertically,
640 x 840 background, scrolls horizontally and vertically, covers upper layers and much lower layers of levels.
I'm unsure what my colour selection should be,
my horizon will likely be grassy hills,
cloud layer I have no clue what kind of cloud to go for,
the larger background I also have no idea.
I hate backgrounds but thats only because I completely suck at them!
Any advice, references, anything at all would greatly help.
