How to make camera in platformer game?

Question

Hello,
I am making a platformer game in canvas using js. I have done tile collision and response part but I'm unable to make player's camera. Basically I want to make a camera which follows the player.

Here is the code:

If you know how to do it, please help and guide me!

Answer 1

Senku I would've attempted to explain how a camera works, but I don't think that's nessecary anymore when the exact personn I learnt from shared the exact code I learnt from😂❤️
Do check out what 「ＨＡＰＰＹ ＴＯ ＨＥＬＰ」 posted and if don't quite get it, feel free to ask us! We are 「ＨＡＰＰＹ ＴＯ ＨＥＬＰ」xD

Answer 2

「ＨＡＰＰＹ ＴＯ ＨＥＬＰ」 Was thinking something similar...also...Senku if you want a fixed background, perhaps you could avoid drowning the background tiles (the light blue ones) and instead fill the whole canvas with that color, before translating the canvas then draw just the collidable tiles on top of that
