If you only have 1 scene in your game but you need more just make your scene bigger then make a controller that changes the camera position so it looks like the scene is being changed but really is just changing the camera position to where your next scene is so the loading wheel will never show up just like xcode games

    Loading wheel is not the spinning wheel of death so please don't confuse people.
    What you suggested is to put multiple menus in one scene and jump the camera position instead of changing scenes.
    This is a known method and it's great, just keep your eyes on performance and RAM cause too much data in one scene can cause longer loading time and even crashes..

    Good luck with your project.

    Like POM said. the spinning wheel of death is what happens to the creator right be fore it crashes. lets not confuse people. And I have seen many people try this type of thing in the past. only some are successful because it only works for certain types of games than are not packed full of assets in each scene.
