Forums » Help » Manipulate Camera Larger than the Canvas

does anyone know the correct way to manipulate the camera on a 2D level that is larger than the canvas? I want to both set the initial position (based on the player entity position) and ensure that the map scrolls with the player entity.

set the game's screen.x and screen.y to scroll the vie

e.g. you can just center it on an entity with:
ig.game.screen.x = this.pos.x - ig.system.width/2;

where "this" is the entity
