title: Android Opengl 2d side scrolling game design decision
body: <p>I'm currently playing around with a 2D side scrolling platform game but I am unable to get the background to scroll. I've looked around the internet and have found a couple of tutorials, but I want to do it by drawing within OpenGL itself that make up the background.  There are obstacles on the background and a player which moves diagonally along a road. The background appears to move in diagonal direction.</p>
  
  <p>I have also seen a few android game engines like andEngine and an open source project like <a href="http://code.google.com/p/replicaisland/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/replicaisland/</a></p>
  
  <p>but unable to decide which one should be used as a starting point. I read in a few blogs for andEngine that it does not allow vertical scrolling so not sure if I should move ahead with it.</p>
