Scrolling Game Development Kit Forum

Recently I have been wanting to do a scrolling shooter and stumbled across the Scrolling Game Development kit which seems to have everything I need. I looked at some of the projects that were made with it, but they were all platformers. Has anyone done a scrolling shooter? Would it require allot of coding or just simple scripts?

I have only looked at the SGDK2 for a short bit, but it seems to be pretty powereful with what it can do.
