>From reading just this message, I get the impression that you may have bitten off more than you can chew. A platform game can be quite difficult for a first project - especially a scrolling platform game. The key to any game is getting the right images onscreen at the right locations. If you can get your main sprite in a blank window and move it around, you've taken the first step. After that, things get much, much more complicated when you add scrolling backgrounds and collision detection.
