Feature idea for auto-scrolling levels.

May be set as a Level Property or controlled by doodads. For doodads it may be a function like SetAutoscroll(Vector, speed int)

When the level has an auto-scroll active:

Disable the camera-follow to the player, letting the player move freely anywhere on the current screen.
Player movement will be capped to screen edges: can't run ahead or fall behind the scroll.
If the player is forced off the screen, e.g. by a solid wall, it triggers a Fail condition.

Some ideas how doodads can control the auto-scroll easily:

Implement an OnVisible handler that gets run when a doodad appears on the screen.
Have a set of doodads to control the autoscroll (change it to a certain direction, speedup or slowdown)

So an auto-scroll level can adjust the direction and speed easily by scattering these control doodads around, e.g. level scrolls to the right until a downward scroll doodad comes on screen that changes the scroll direction downward.
