i am making a top down car racing game as project (i'm new to python) and i want to know how to make the track (that i have made a background) move, so that when the user's car is moving, the track is essentially moving in the opposite direction so it looks like you are progressing through the course of the circuit. (The camera is focused on the user's car)
Thanks

Just add the camera
vector to the background.rect.topleft
position as well:
screen.blit(background.image, background.rect.topleft+camera)
