Advantages of the SDK

frarees · August 2013

I've been experimenting with OUYA & Unity for a while, and was using the plugin at github.

But, I've managed to compile a fully working build, without the need of any of the files that are on the plugin. I managed to handle input properly via the Input class (GetAxis works great, too).

Of course I still don't get benefit of any purchase related stuff and all those things that could possibly only ODK, but it works as expected.

What are the advantages of using the plugin for handling input? Other advantages of using the plugin, apart from using NDK and extend the OuyaUnityApplication or OuyaUnityActivity?

Thanks

The plan is OuyaSDK will purely handle the input mapping. And then once you know the AxisName or the KeyCode you can get input directly from the Unity Input API.

OuyaUnityApplication is for Unity 3.X compatibility to avoid the Input ANR issue.

Unity 4.1.2+ fixed the ANR issue, and so you can use the OuyaNativeActivity.

The plugin is also useful to get the gamer uuid, interact with Java, and in-app-purchases.

The plugin gives you access to future features... I.e. controller profiles and that kind of thing...

Howdy, Stranger!
