  @SinisterSoft that looks really cool! I have 2 questions for you:
  1) how did you do the text effect on ROCKS?
  2) May you share a simple project/tutorial showing how you did the multiplayer viewport/screen splitting thing in the second video? It's awesome!
  
  Thank you

  Thanks!
  
  1) I made the image of each letter in Photoshop. I then animate the sprites using a little math for the positions, etc.
  
  2) @hgy29's game was the inspiration for the scroll, he was inspired by the lego game scroll. He helped enormously giving me snips of code and explaining how it worked. I used the same technique he used with a couple of very minor changes (if any). If he says it's ok then I'll try get a tutorial done.

  Thanks. I like old arcade game 'attract' modes - they always used to have the game playing the the background with the titles/menu on top - So I try do that if it's an arcade game.

  @SinisterSoft did you play "Zombies ate my Neighbors" by LucasArts?

  @Apollo14 Yes, great game. One of my friends helped make it, sadly he passed away some time ago.

  @oleg Yes, maybe even warp the letters a little more in the animation too. I'll look at that once the game is finished.

  This looks awesome! Reminds me of some demos off the Amiga and then I had a flashback of Boulder Dash off my Atari 800XL, brilliant looking stuff, looking forward to seeing the finished game!

  @appymedia I had an 800 too, then an Amiga.
  
  @hgy29 I'll sort out a tutorial for the technique then, possibly over the weekend - a blog post perhaps?
