i just spent an hour and a bit trying to make a scrolling background thingy (via maiden's handy tutorial), but my version of photoshop is old and doesn't do what the instructions want it to. so, have a static image that would have been tons better had i been able to get the sand moving.

guess the joke, win a prize.
i keep the prizes: palindromedary.

Here's my first version of some sort of scrolling background (which I did last night) - I don't know whether it qualifies or not.

after I'd cloned out the camellemac, I took the background image, copied and flipped it, and copied the original again, so there's like a strip three times the original length, A-B-A.
I didn't bother to gussy up the joins. There is a 4-pixel horizontal blur on it, but that's not always necessary.
Having animated the cut-out camellemac separately, I took successive slices of the background strip, and SHAZAM.
