I've added this to the tiles module docstring: """ You have three options for map scrolling: 1. never automatically scroll the map, 2. automatically scroll the map but stop at the map edges, and 3. scroll the map an allow the edge of the map to be displayed. The first is possibly the easiest since you don't need to use a ScrollingManager layer. You simple call map.set_view(x, y, w, h) on your map layer giving the bottom-left corner coordinates and the dimensions to display. This could be as simple as:: map.set_view(0, 0, map.px_width, map.px_height) If you wish to have the map scroll around in response to player movement the ScrollingManager may be used. It has a concept of "focus" which is the pixel position of the player's view focus (*usually* the center of the player sprite itself, but the player may be allowed to move the view around, or you may move it around for them to highlight something else in the map). The ScrollingManager is clever enough to manage many layers of map imagery and handle scaling them. Two methods are available for setting the map focus: **set_focus(x, y)** Attempt to set the focus to the pixel coordinates given. The map layer(s) contained in the ScrollingManager are moved accordingly. If a layer would be moved outside of its define px_width, px_height then the scrolling is restricted. The resultant restricted focal point is stored on the ScrollingManager as manager.fx and manager.fy. **force_focus(x, y)** Force setting the focus to the pixel coordinates given. The map layer(s) contained in the ScrollingManager are moved accordingly regardless of whether any out-of-bounds cells would be displayed. The .fx and .fy attributes are still set, but they'll *always* be set to the supplied x and y values. """ Hope this helps.
