Scrolling / Moving background

[Randy Autry]

Hello,

Does app inventor have the capabilities for me to develop a runner type app similar to Subway surfer or Temple Run? 

Regards,

Randy

Abraham's link is an example of side-scrolling if that will do.

But Temple Run(tm) involves scene perspective and zooming in 3 dimensions which is different.

I would also be interested to know how to do that in App Inventor.

One way might be to separate an animated scene into 15 frames for each second and play it back similar to > this < technique.

You might overlay the character ImageSprite on that scene which would be the Canavas BackgroundImage which is cycling 15 background images every second.

No. You would need at least OpenGL ES 1.0 support for 3D. Canvas was so 2010. OpenGL can batch draw calls. Also canvas is very limited in App Inventor. Before even you talk about 3D, do some simple 2D games. Dive into vectors, matrices, etc.
