This looks nice

Very clear. But just a bit too big time spaces between actions (like displaying new text line).

Playbook wouldn't be a problem, but I can't do iOS sorry, I don't have a Mac, a developer account or the supporting software. Hundreds of pounds is well out of my price range for the foreseeable future.

For iOS, Lee already did a video related to AppGameKit!

On iOS all you need is install Xcode and the iOS SDK and you have all the software setup.

There are many videos on youtube that show you how to handle the developer keys installation. This is ios generic and not agk specific.

I get redirected to this slightly different link, which seems to work OK for me.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxBsohXdxKEOZm9zcmw3Ui1DX1U/edit?pli=1


I'd also love to see the final video, it's quite a complicated process.

Wow it seems a very complicated process and so many tools needed. Why can't there just be a compile and publish for android button in agk.

It would be nice, but the core bits needed for the Android app are, indeed, somewhat complex.

But, once you have the environment set up, it is easy to get each new app done.

You just have to be careful when AppGameKit updates to update your Android setup.

These are commands I execute every time I update/change my AppGameKit version. I have my Windows AppGameKit installed in C:\TGC\AGK (I never use the Program Files directories if given the choice, I hate spaces in paths/file names). And I used simply 'android-ndk' for the Android NDK path (I used the most recent version).

To update the core AppGameKit stuff:


To update my own projects after updating core AGK:


After doing the above to make sure the permissions are correct and that Eclipse will be able to run the app on the Android device:


Now, just so you have a working player, build the player:


Edit /cygdrive/c/Android/IDE/apps/interpreter/interpreter.cpp to uncomment the correct line so that your app will run instead of the player. In v1075 and v1076 it is at line #255:


Copy from your AppGameKit Tier1 directory, clean and compile your app:


Good luck!

Cheers,
Ancient Lady

I also forget the process even though a I done a about 50 times. There are several things that you got to get familiar with like changing Icon and the name of the app. After you do it once its a lot easier to do it again even if you forget a few details.

The video is finished and just need annotating for the new menu system it's using. Perhaps after this I will also produce a "cheat sheet" for users who've been through the process before and have all the software setup.
