viewing outside of the player

Unknown

is there a way to view (gideros player) outside of the frame where we define our logical width and height? like the box2d collision example, where the box is created outside of the frame with the value -ve i would like the option to see it, as i want to make a platformer type game where the "stage" is bigger then the screen size, i hope i'am making myself clear

You can use my camera library (see signature)

local random = math.random local function frandom(min, max) return min + (max-min) * random() end   local Layer = Sprite.new() local RECT_SIZE = 10000   local cam = GCam.new(Layer) cam:setAutoSize(true) cam:setBounds(-RECT_SIZE, -RECT_SIZE, RECT_SIZE, RECT_SIZE) cam:goto(cam.w / 2, cam.h / 2) --cam:setDebug(true) stage:addChild(cam) Layer:addChild(Pixel.new(0,0.5, cam.w,cam.h))   for i = 1, 20000 do local sq = Pixel.new(random(0xffffff), frandom(0.5, 1), random(10,80), random(10,80) ) sq:setAnchorPoint(.5,.5) sq:setRotation(random() * 360) sq:setPosition( random(-RECT_SIZE, RECT_SIZE), random(-RECT_SIZE, RECT_SIZE) ) Layer:addChild(sq) end   local tf0 = TextField.new(nil, "x: 0\ny: 0", "|") tf0:setScale(2) Layer:addChild(tf0)   local tf1 = TextField.new(nil, ("x: %i\ny: %i"):format(-RECT_SIZE, -RECT_SIZE), "|") tf1:setPosition(-RECT_SIZE, -RECT_SIZE) tf1:setScale(2) Layer:addChild(tf1)   local tf2 = TextField.new(nil, ("x: %i\ny: %i"):format(RECT_SIZE, RECT_SIZE), "|") tf2:setPosition(RECT_SIZE, RECT_SIZE) tf2:setScale(2) Layer:addChild(tf2)   local px,py = 0,0 stage:addEventListener("mouseDown", function(e) px,py = e.x,e.y end) stage:addEventListener("mouseMove", function(e) local x,y = e.x,e.y local dx = x - px local dy = y - py local zoom = cam:getZoom() cam:move(-dx / zoom,-dy / zoom)   px,py = x,y end) stage:addEventListener("mouseWheel", function(e) if e.wheel < 0 then cam:zoom(-0.1) else cam:zoom(0.1) end   local zoom = cam:getZoom() tf0:setScale(2 / zoom) tf1:setScale(2 / zoom) tf2:setScale(2 / zoom) end)
