It didn't all come out. I've tried to make a Zelda style rpg, where when you get to the edge of a screen it scrolls to the next one, but at the moment there's just a big jump.

my code button doesn't work so i'll copy and paste again.
just in case this doesn't work i'll url my web page, I just started it so it's a rough looking site.
