Backgrounds

1. We will start with the bottom background, the picture of the mountains.
   1. This is going to be a simple static Animation, Click on New Static, select the mountains.png. Then ok. This will create a new static animation from the entire image. You'll notice the name (or ID) is the same as the file name. You can change this by going into the Animations tab and edit the animation.
   2. Set the Background type to ParrallaxBackground. This will populate the drop down under Additional Values and enable the text field.
      
   3. Select the new StaticAnimation mountains.png and select the button for key 0.
   4. In the additional values, select CENTER in the drop down.
   5. Give it an ID of Mountains and create the background.
2. Now for the Houses and Trees backgrounds. These two are similar. Either create a static animation as we did with the Mountains or go to the Animation tab and create them there.
   1. Select ParallaxWrapBackground and set the type.
   2. In the drop down select Center.
   3. Add the Houses to the animation.
   4. Give it an ID of Houses and create the background.
   5. Follow the same steps for the Trees.
