I want to make a map (or a huge image with physical objects) that is larger than the screen of an iPhone (or any other phones) , and the map scrolls itself depending on the player movement.
Kind of like Super Mario but the map is 2D.
Is it possible? I searched all over Google but cannot find a solution for that
Any hep will be really appreciated! [import]uid: 44110 topic_id: 30078 reply_id: 330078[/import]
Yes it is possible. I have an RPG map style template for this, though also possible with more mario style stuff - ChocoRun did this. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 30078 reply_id: 120434[/import]
Thanks for telling me that it is possible! 
Can you provide any sample code?

Sample code will be great
I’m interested too

Remember that textures sizes cannot exceed 2048x2048.
General way to do it -
put objects ( tiles ) in display group with coordinates to make huge map
then all you need to do is change x,y of display group to move your map. [import]uid: 41153 topic_id: 30078 reply_id: 120469[/import]
Why not? If you target your app for iPhone 4/4S or iPad you can use 4096x4096 texture [import]uid: 12704 topic_id: 30078 reply_id: 120477[/import]
2048x2048 is safe for all devices supported in current stable build.
And you can exclude iPhone 4 from your list, only 4S supports that size. iPad 1 also doesn’t support it. [import]uid: 41153 topic_id: 30078 reply_id: 120481[/import]
I don’t have sample code on hand, I’ve got template I’ve cleaned up and will post in the next day or two though - if you’re following me on Twitter (@peachpellen) you will see it there.
That said, I use tiles and would encourage anyone doing this to do the same. Yes, you can use fairly sizable textures now but *why* do it unless you have to? Be smart about texture memory and will save your ass in the long run.
Delwing is spot on RE basic logic.

This may sound like a stupid question, but what are tiles? [import]uid: 44110 topic_id: 30078 reply_id: 120608[/import]
Fragments, chunks. Preferably same size ( or even same width as length ).
Thinks of your map as an array of tiles or chess board. [import]uid: 41153 topic_id: 30078 reply_id: 120623[/import]
