I would use tiles to build one large image to scroll - but you probably know better than to listen to me. I have yet to try a scrolling game.
It is looking good. Any progress since your last post ? I hope you have time to keep us updated - (so I can steal your techniques).
Thank you for your recommendations Senor Quack. I have rewritten the input handling and made Y another fire button. I also speeded up the menu a tad.
