Installation

It is recommended that you create a new project before importing the package — but it should work either way if you are careful.

  1. Import the Package via the Unity Package Manager. This will prompt you to either Switch Project or Import it directly. Unity explains the difference but as a rule of thumb — if you are working with a freshly created project, you can simply Import it.

  2. ❗IMPORTANT: Go to Edit/Project Settings/Player and change Active Input Handling* to Input System Package (New). If you cannot find the setting, try searching for it in the search bar or locate it under the Other Settings dropdown.

  3. ❗IMPORTANT: Go to File/Build Settings and add the four scenes found in Candy Merge/Scenes in the following order (MUST BE IN THIS ORDER): 0 MENU 1 LEVEL 2 INTERFACE 3 LOADING

  4. If you are not using Unity 6 or the physics feels off — make sure to go to Candy Merge/Systems/Candies/Prefabs and select Candy prefab. Make sure that its Rigidbody2D has its Angular Damping or Angular Drag (depending on Unity version) to 15 (or your own preference).

  5. ❗IMPORTANT: Mobile Specific Development: [IF YOU ARE USING THE MOBILE VERSION OF THE PACKAGE]

    1. ❗IMPORTANT: Follows are the Mobile Project Settings that should be changed: Go to Edit/Project Settings/Player/Android(or your specific Mobile Platform)/Resolution and Presentation

      1. [Optional] Disable Run Without Focus

      2. Change Auto Rotation Behaviour to Sensor

      3. Under Allowed Orientations for Auto Rotation Disable both Portrait and Portrait Upside Down

    2. To get the Take Screenshot functionality to work in game over scene, when a game is finished; Look in the script Candy Merge/Systems/Game Over/Scripts/GameOver in the function TakeScreenshot(). Here a comment gives a simple explanation on how to achieve this on mobile platforms.
