Best lib for fast parallax scrolling?

Hi,

Which is the best userlib to use for creating a fast scrooling shoot-em-up with paralax scrolling, maybe even rotating sprites and levels. I,ve looked at sprite candy and nsprite 2. Which 1 is best and are there better libs I could look at? Also, Do any come with a tile based map editor?

Thanks

Sprite Candy

Sprite Candy definately : www.x-pressive.com

Thanks guys:)

I see sprite candy has a GUI extension so it shouldn't be too hard to make my own map editor, right?

Thanks

Sprite Candy.

the gui is rather limited though, if you plan on doing anything major with it.

I just bought sprite candy:) Not had a chance to play with it yet but I could do with opinions on the best way to do scrolling tiled levels. As I see it I have 3 options

1. create a layer as big as the level, tile the whole level on it and move the layer to scroll
2. Make a layer 1 tile bigger than the screen in all directions and re-tile the layer when the edge of the layer is reached
3. Make a layer as big as the screen and re-tile it every frame

Which is best? I'm thinking 2. is as 1. will be useless for very big levels and 3. may be too slow. Is there a way I aint thought of?

Thanks

Are there any parallax scrolling demos using spritecandy?

Oops, sprite candy is a great tool, but unfortunately not very good at scrolling tile levels. If anybody has an example of how to scroll a tile level with Sprite Candy, I would be very interested to see that code.

I'd use Fast Image for this.
