Creating a background
Because the placement and the route to walk is important in this kind of game, we will
start with the creaion of the
background
. To the left of the
Sprites
window, you will see a
separate picture. Underneath is the word
Stage
and another word, the name of the picture
that's being shown. This picture is white when you start a new project because nothing is
drawn on it yet. The following is an example with our background image already drawn in:
Engage thrusters
We will draw a grassy field with a winding road running through it when looked at from the
top, by going through the following steps:
1.
Click on the white image.
2.
Next, click on the
Backdrops
tab to get to the drawing tool. This is similar to the
Costumes
tab for sprites, but the size of the drawing canvas is clearly limited to
the size of the stage.
