If the game went to release, would you mind sharing the title for comparison purposes? I agree most would come up with similar solutions, but I'm curious if the result feels the same to play.

Note we did not do the smooth scrolling but the coarse scrolling worked by the second method. We had the tech to do smooth scrolling, I don't recall why it didn't make it to final game. Maybe compatibility. https://youtu.be/qlRthjjQreg https://youtu.be/qlRthjjQreg
