I want to make a game guide. So once the app is open, there's different categories to tap on that takes you to different walkthroughs, cheats, etc. I did some research and saw that I could this this by using scenes. However, I don't know what to do to set up scenes as pages and to make buttons that take you to those specific pages... What's the basics on how I could accomplish this? Any help is much appreciated, thank! :)

    There are two ways to do this: (1) Make a scene for each topic/page. Add a button for each topic that links to the scene for that topic. On each scene, add the relevant information. (2) Make a single scene that is longer/taller than the viewable area you want and use camera tricks (move the camera location) to show the correct scene based on the button that is tapped/clicked.

    (1) is a LOT easier especially if you're new to GameSalad. If you want to do (2), Google "GameSalad camera position" or similar terms and read up on how to work with the camera. One way is to move an invisible actor that has control of the camera to the location of the scene you want to display.

    Here's a quick demo of (1):
