Mucking around with parallax code
I’m not really a coder, but I don’t want to have to wait to see how  the background art will look when it scrolls - and I want to  troubleshoot it before it gets to Dustin.  So I made a little Processing  sketch to see how the landscape will scroll. 
It’s not perfect, can only do horizontal (not vertical parallax), and has a weird bug, but effectively gets the job done. 
  You can use it for your project, just replace  “homebase_background_0x.png” with your own file names in the Processing  directory.  Backgroundpic5 = the most distant part of the image,  backgroundpic = the closest.  Make sure the files are all the same size  and are at least 800x800 px.  
Uh, if you have less than 5  pictures…just delete the other sections?  If you have more, add more  sections and change the variables in the formula?  Crap!  I’m not really  a coder!!!
