==Method 1: Scrolling Background==

In [[Level Settings | Level Settings ]] in the [[Tools Menu | Tools Menu]] you can set a background sprite to move horizontally at a set speed as shown:

Click ''Edit Background Settings''

Select ''Sprite Background'':

Set the ''Movement'' property to ''Scroll -X'':

You can then use a fixed [[Add a Camera | camera]] and move the player up/down/left/right on the screen.

==Method 2: Scrolling Scenery==

This is similar to the Scrolling Background method but instead of a background sprite you [[Add an NPC | add NPCs]] as background scenery items and set the [[AI Tab | AI]] to move in the –X direction as shown:

==Method 3: Moving player==

[[Add a Player | Place a player]] in the scene and rotate it to point horizontally using the [[Gizmos | Rotate]] tool [[File:Gizmo04.png|link=]]. You can choose a side-on view or a top-down view, as shown here.

In the In the [[Define Menu | Define menu]], click on the [[Movement Definition | Movement Definition]] and select ''Velocity +X''

[[File:HorizontalShooter10.png|link=]]

Next scroll down to ''Velocity'' and set X to the required constant speed, which is the speed the ship will move even without joypad input. This makes the ship move steadily across the level.

Select the Player ship and set the [[Movement Definition | Movement Definition]] to the ''Velocity +X'' definition we have just modified.

Next we can [[Add an NPC | place NPCs]] and change the [[AI Tab | AI]] to from ''Chase'' to ''Move –X''

[[File:HorizontalShooter13.png|link=]]

[[File:HorizontalShooter14.png|link=]]

Next we can [[Add Scenery | place scenery]] items. In this example we have added some background tiles.

Next [[Add a Camera | place a camera]] and set it to follow the player as shown:

This is a simple horizontal scrolling game that you can build on to make a more complex game.
