Scroll is a C++ convenience layer built on top of orx. Features * Scroll supports “object binding” to custom classes. This means when an orx object is created, it can automatically be set to use a C++ class choice for its implementation. This makes it easy to implement behavior that is specific to certain object types. text/html 2025-09-30T17:26:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://orx-project.org/wiki/en/tutorials/orxscroll/maps-in-scrolled?rev=1759253179&do=diff Creating Maps in ScrollEd ScrollEd is a map/level editor that can be used with Scroll.

Perhaps it might need to know about a particular type of enemy, perhaps how close it is. A good example of this is a Tower Defence game. Imagine you had a tower in the form of a ScrollObject. It wants to know about the closest robot enemy marching near it. Each enemy can be calculated to determine the one closest to the Tower. Then the tower can open fire on that object. text/html 2025-09-30T17:26:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://orx-project.org/wiki/en/tutorials/orxscroll/scroll_cameras_and_viewports?rev=1759253179&do=diff Scroll, Cameras and Viewports This is a super short tutorial, more a reminder of how Cameras and Viewports are a tad different from a plain orx project.
