About Proton SDK (aka p+) is a component based C++ framework that is optimized for GL/GLES based mobile cross-platform game development. It's designed for advanced C++ programmers, if you're new to C++ or programming, this probably isn't the SDK for you!

admanager_chartboost

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2012-12-02T12:20:01+00:00

Chartboost Chartboost lets you tell your users about other games you've written by showing them big splash ads in a controlled way. You can specify that an ad is only shown once, or every day, or whatever. It's also possible to run ads for pay and track installs and bootups.

admanager_directx

Adding DirectX controller support Assuming you already setup the proton:gamepadmanager just add: //near the top of App.cpp #ifdef PLATFORM_WINDOWS #include "Gamepad/GamepadProviderDirectX.h" #endif //Add this to actually init the gamepad(s): #ifdef PLATFORM_WINDOWS GetGamepadManager()->AddProvider(new GamepadProviderDirectX); //use directx joysticks #endif

admanager_flurry

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2012-07-26T03:59:56+00:00

Flurry Flurry is implemented as a plugin to the AdManager. You init it with your apps Flurry ID, then you can make calls to track specific pages, which will later show up in the Flurry dev console. Currently supported on Android only. Requires an AdManager object to be setup to use.

admanager_hooked

Hooked Supported on Android. See RTAdTest for an example.

admanager_startapp

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2012-07-07T04:13:16+00:00

Startapp Supported on Android, no docs yet. I don't think there is an example of usage yet, coming soon. Basically you copy the lib, and set up everything in Main.java, made the most sense for this one, AdManager actually doesn't have anything to do with it.

admanager_tapjoy

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2013-01-16T03:29:35+00:00

Tapjoy Tapjoy lets you run ads and use virtual currency. Check RTAdTest for an example, it's supported on Android and iOS. Requires an AdManager object to be setup to use. To initialize it, add: //put this somewhere after m_adManager.Init(); is called AdManager::InitTapjoy("your tapjoyID", "your tapjoyAppSecretKey");

admanager

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2022-10-26T04:19:44+00:00

Meet the AdManager These days, it isn't enough to just write a game. You need to be trendy and monetize it as well. This could mean displaying ads for a third party or your other games (Chartboost, Tapjoy), offering incentives and point systems (Tapjoy), tracking installs and what menus the player used and stuff like that (Flurry), or making money by adding buttons that open up third party stores and things. (Startapp, Hooked)

android_projects

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2022-08-01T07:41:01+00:00

Intro The Android projects are a bit more complicated than some other platforms. Most of the complication comes from the fact that the Android applications are a mixture of native C++ and interpreted Java code. This is true for any Android project (not just Proton) that uses native code. On top of this Proton also adds its own quirks.

Installing tools There is nothing magical in the process of getting the Android projects building on Linux. But it does require some work since a bunch of tools are needed. The two most important and fundamental packages are the Android SDK and the Android NDK. Since the installation processes of those is thoroughly explained in the Android developer documentation that won't be repeated here. Follow the Android documentation at least as much that you get the

Before going in to compilation details check what you need to know about the Android projects in general. Compiling for Android from Windows (V3 build system) This is a lot easier than it used to be. * Install Android Studio * Make sure everything is working by creating a project using its “Native C++” template. It will automatically download Gradle and the NDK, you should be able to run it on a simulator device and real Android device plugged in.

Proton Arduboy Simulator See a Vine of it in action here. Play its HTML5 export in a browser here. What does it do? It's a harness to run code written for the Arduboy in Visual C++ 2005. It fakes the Arduboy API (Both V1.1 and V1.2 of the Arduboy library) so I can test and debug my stuff in my favorite development environment. The identical code can then be run on the real Arduboy.

audiomanager_android

AudioManagerAndroid This the default (and only) audio system for Android. See RTSimpleApp for a usage example. * Internally uses SoundPool for sfx * Plays .oggs using native hardware if available * SFX's cannot be more than 1 mb in size (?), and you can't have more than 99 loaded at once (?) (limitations of SoundPool)

AudioManagerDenshion This is the Denshion audio manager, stolen from the Cocos2D project. It is the recommended audio system to use for iOS, and in theory could be used for OSX but hasn't been setup yet. Some tweaks have been made from the original to add features and work better through the AudioManager interface.

(somewhat rough draft) Targeting the Playbook So you want to put your stuff on a Playbook? I'd say it's about average as far as difficulty of setting it up and getting it going. Here is how. * Sign up at the Blackberry Developer Zone * Download Native SDK, it includes a customized version of Eclipse. You might want to grab the emulator too.

File handling First, you can use your good old C fwrite/fread or streams to your heart's content. But there is a reason why you shouldn't - the Android file system sort of requires you to load your stuff from a giant zip, and using the FileManager

iCade The iCade is a joystick/button controller that uses a standard bluetooth keyboard interface. Because of this, it requires no special drivers and works on iOS, Android, and I assume anything else with l2cap bluetooth support. (If it pairs, it should work)

gamepadmanager_xperia

Xperia Play built-in controller For the dpad and all buttons, it's automatic, you don't have to do anything, or even use the gamepadmanager actually. (ArcadeInputManager will pick it up) However, the analog sticks on it are not yet supported as they require Android 2.3+ to use (the cpp only JNI setup) and I surely don't feel like hassling with that right now, but when that happens it will probably be setup similar to other gamepads so we can make to the analog sticks properly.

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2022-10-26T04:19:33+00:00

Input with the ArcadeInputManager and the GamepadManager The point of an xplat gaming framework like Proton is to be able to say “Move the character up, if they push up” and not care if they used a joystick, gamepad, on-screen directional pad, trackball, mouse, or bluetooth keyboard or whatever the heck they invent next.

Compiling the examples for HTML5 with Enscripten from Windows So Flash is dead and HTML5 is the way forward. Fine. There are a few gotchas but overall we've finally reached a place where most stuff renders and sounds ok across the popular browsers with only a few hiccups.

Open Finder, navigate to the RTBareBones directory and open RTBareBones.xcodeproj. The project will open in Xcode. It should compile and run out of the box.

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2012-07-24T09:43:30+00:00

Why variants? A problem with boost and all this signal/slot stuff is if you want to send variables you have to know in advance what variables should be passed. We get around that by using Variant and VariantList. Variant Variant is a special kind of variable that can be a number, a string, a vector3, or a pointer to an entity or component. (It's pretty easy to add support for more data types btw)
