Large Map like Candy Crush

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know of an effective way to have a large map (say with several hundred level plots) that you can scroll around like on Candy Crush? I'm working on iPad and I think the scene size is limited, so I'm not sure how to have something that can continuously scroll up/down that could go beyond the scene limits. Any thoughts or help appreciated!

Thanks,

HK

    I've never played Candy Crush (I know, shocking, right?!) but is this kind of scrolling helpful to you at all?

    As always, humbled by the amazing response by this community!

    @BlackCloakGS - Is there an actual demo file for that video? It looks like they're just changing scene after a certain amount of levels (which I know how to do), I was wondering wether there is a way to have everything on one large screen. But if I could look at the file from that video I can see if they're doing anything magic, rather than a scene change.

    Again, many thanks!!

    @HappyKay78 I was doing the demo for that. It is not a change scene groups of levels are sectioned together. Candy Crush does that as well. It doesn't have all at once, but when you are done with a certain level it scrolls to another available area. The project is on Marketplace.

    Though scene size isn't limited as much as the size of the image is limited to 1024x1024 for older iPads and 2048x2048 for newer iPads. In that case you could break down background images to smaller parts and piece them together.

    Ah, I didn't realize that! So as long as I break the individual images down I can have whatever scene size I like??
