Win up to $200,000 at the Tizen App Challenge with your SpellJS game

[Julian]

Hi,

 

I just wanted to inform you that there is an app contest going on for the Tizen platform. The entry deadline is December 8th, at 11:59pm PST.

 

Tizen is a new mobile operating system developed by Samung, Intel and others. You can see it in action here:

The HTML5 export in SpellJS is compatible with the Tizen Web App stack. You can develop your Game in SpellJS and export it as a Web-App (HTML5, Flash), Tizen Web App, Android native app and iOS native app.

I have collected a few tips to get you through the tizen app store certification process:

 

• In order to create your Tizen web application you can follow this guide: https://developer.tizen.org/downloads/sample-web-applications/load-web-app-tizen-sdk
  You can then copy the content of build/release/web/ into your Tizen web project after you triggered a web build in SpellJS
  
   
• Make sure that you enable support for at least one screen size in the "feature" section of the config.xml file. Here is an example config.xml file
  
  

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:tizen="http://tizen.org/ns/widgets" id="http://spelljs.com" version="1.0.1" viewmodes="fullscreen">    <tizen:application id="xxx.yyy" package="xxx" required_version="2.2"/>    <author>Spielmeister</author>    <content src="index.html"/>    <feature name="http://tizen.org/feature/screen.size.normal.720.1280"/>    <feature name="http://tizen.org/feature/screen.size.normal.480,800"/>    <icon src="icon.png"/>    <name>Jungle Chaos</name>    <tizen:setting screen-orientation="landscape" context-menu="enable" background-support="disable" encryption="disable" install-location="auto" hwkey-event="enable"/></widget>

• Make sure that your app reacts to the hardware "BACK" key. The previous screen should appear when the BACK key is pressed and on the top level the app should terminate. You can listen for the hardware back key using the following code:

spell.inputManager.addListener(  'keyDown',  function( event ) {    if( event.keyCode === spell.inputManager.KEY.BACK ) {       //react to hardware BACK key    }  })

You can close the application by calling: 

PlatformKit.Application.close() 

(include 'spell/shared/util/platform/PlatformKit')

 

 

Have fun and good luck!
