Sounds like you're in over your head.
Do you know how to program?
Do you know how to program games for a PC?
Do you know how to program for the PSP?
I would solve these problems in that order. |

Excellent, sounds like you're experienced enough. Sorry, there are so many newbie posts nowadays... I did not mean to offend.
I would go for a top-down approach, then you should find that what you need to do becomes apparent as you need it.
Start off with the high level logic flow - initialisation, title screen, game "play" screen, game over, etc. Some design patterns like "Run and return successor" can help with this.
Then you'll probably find that you need to set up a world for playing in, with a tile-based map, and sprites for characters. How you store and process this lot depends on your preferences.
Hope this helps,
Pete |

Scrolling's not so bad, you just offset your blits by the camera position.
Collision can be a paint though, especially if you support slopes.
Check out a relevant tutorial here:

If you want to take a look, I started a side-scrolling engine game months ago. It is written in Lua but should give you an idea of how the block collision works.
