Hello people!!!

i have been coding several days for now, and now its time to decide how to
scroll the screen...I've been using scroll_screen(), it shakes a bit the
figure when it moves..

So i was thinking, is software scroll smoother?...it is right?...well how do
i write that, that's my problem..

My game is tilebased, it can be blitted piece by piece but i dont know how
to write it..
i use matrix field for the levels.

Another possibility would be that i blit the whole map on screen, 400x400, i
guess that would be stupid and it would eat lots of memory.

thanks for all the people in advance.
