Question about game(Helicopter)

[Andrew LaBarre]

Hi, I believe this is the correct sub forum.. if not i do apologize in advance.

I am a beginner in VB.net (Visual Studio 2005) and I dont really know how to ask this but....
I have a form with a picture box and a background and i am wondering what is the best way to make it appear as if objects come from the left.. As if the picturebox is moving to the right... I brought up helicopter in the title because thats the idea I am trying to figure out...
If anyone could recommend something for me that would be great.. If i need to post for stuff i will

Thanks!

If you have a background and a foreground and you want to make it look like the foreground is moving in a particular direction then you only really have two choices:

1. Move the foreground in that direction.
2. Move the background in the opposite direction.

Ok thanks for the quick reply... How can i make it the background moves. I can prolly figure out how to make the objects spawn in random spots once i know where im heading.
Thanks for the quick reply

The background is going to have to be another control that you can move.
