Updating iphone 4 game to 5...

gamesfua

Hey all!
Ive been working on an iphone4 game for a long while now. I'd like to possibly update it to the new iphone 5 screen width. However i'd like to do so with minimal (if possible) coding changes. From what i'm seeing the main problem is readjusting the camera to its original placement.
My questions is, is there a way to see or note where my camera info is on my iphone 4 project- so i can manually adjust it via coordinates on the new iphone5 project? Simply put, is there a way to manually ensure my camera position is essentially in the same place as before. I recognize that there will obviously be an added inch to the screen, but i'm hoping there's a way to at least have its original centered focus be where it always was.
Many many thanks!

Not sure where to look in this thread. The video seems to be removed. Any ideas?

@anatomyofdreams - Hey there. @uptimistik did a fantastic video on explaining different methods with the new Overscan feature.

You can watch it below:

@Braydon_SFX many thanks! I'm going to experiment a little with that. Has anyone tried the method and run into any trouble?

Only if you have a larger screen. But otherwise, it should work file.

@Braydon_SFX what do you mean if you hae a larger screen? and using this method, will it automatically resize every actor in the scene or do i need to do it to each and every actor?

Hey all. I know this is a bump topic. But I'm stuck on this. I have the same problem as @anatomyofdreams. I also made a game for iPhone4 but on iPhone5 the width is a little bit more widther, why some of the graphics fall away.

I tried the YouTube video. But the change attribute > current scene > camera size is not there anymore.

How can I change the current scene > camera size attribute now??

It will be there @BasGoodboy‌ but you will not be able to do it from a prototype, make sure you drag an actor on scene, go into it, unlock it so it becomes an instance and then you can access those attributes.

Ahh @beefy_clyro, it's there now indeed. Altho I have to say on viewer I don't see any difference after doing so :-(

Edit: It does something, but not what I want.

Normal on iPhone 4 viewer (how it should be):


When unchanged on iPhone 5 viewer (not fitting buttons)


Now on iPhone 5 viewer after changing the cam attribute:


Any ideas??
