What's a parallax?

On maps, parallax is little x and y offset that makes things scroll faster or slower than the rest of the map. A parallax of 1 is normal. When doing a parallax below 1, think it as something in the background (ex. land far below you when on a mountain). When doing a parallax above 1, think it as something in the foreground (ex. clouds).

You're a sucky inbuilt parallax!

Note, making a useful map with the sucky inbuilt parallax is pretty impossible. You're better off writing your own. Zip :)
