How do you make a side-scrolling game?

Short answer: Not with BYOND. I know some people have worked on them, but in all honesty BYOND isn't really designed for that sort of game. The result will be unsatisfactory.

Well the map can be any size you like. If you want it to be visible as big icons by default, keep world.view to 6 or less (for most systems).

you simply code another turf or area.Heres an example:
turf
 dirt
  icon = 'dirt.dmi'
  icon_state = "dirt"

Go read a guide. Or a source code of some game. Dont rip it though, just read through it. Oh and your screen follows your mob by default.

.:le sigh:.
what Lummox JR is saying is:
// ...set the
world //world
  view = 5 //.view


what Dragonfire or whatever is saying:
turf
  someturf //for grass
    icon = 'blah.dmi'
  somemoreturf
    icon = 'blahblah.dmi' //for water
    density = 1 //make it so you cant walk through it
  evenmoreturf //for walls
    icon = 'blahdeblahblah.dmi'
    density = 1 //no pass through
    opacity = 1 //no see through

seriously. setting up turfs is the easiest it gets. You can't be trying that hard to learn seeing as this is the kinda thing thats easily found in all the resources available to you -.-;

Please go read through the tutorials and things, it'll help you so much. Especially Zilal's (sp?) trilogy of tutorials. (Link is through the 'Tutorials' link, left hand of your screen, under Resources. >.>)

Not meaning to come across as a jerk. Just..grumpy right now..^^;
