Scrolling image background is taking up too much processing?
I am trying to make a simple scrolling game but the resource usage is so heavy. What am I doing wrong here?

Re: Scrolling image background is taking up too much process
A couple of bits:
Scrolling by 1 pixel is a VERY slow movement (1 pixel every 50 milliseconds = 32 seconds to scroll 640 pixels!!)
Also you need to learn "left" from "right"
 regarding the side you set.
Anyway - here is a modified version with a couple of ideas in the buttons...
Enjoy.
