  • Heya, we never actually got this to work.

  • Hey cranberrygame I emailed you. Did you get it? I really want to move this project forward. Look forward to talking with you!

  • Would you be able to build a Google Chromecast Plugin? Lots of interest in it on these forums.

    I have it half working, I would be happy to send you what I have in my C2 plugin file already. There are existing Phonegap plugins for Chromecast.

    You could tie the two together perhaps, and make some more coin? Cheers,

  • Just found this. WOW.

  • Solution: Use the Construct 2 Plugin called "Phonegap IAP: in app purchase"

    Search for it the forums, direct link: /forum/plugin-crosswalk-related-c2-plugins-phonegap_t109586

  • Thanks Ashley,

    Like I said, I'm half way with it, but I just can't figure out a few things. C2_callFunction works for now. It's easy enough to transfer my code in natively.

    In time. Thanks,

  • Hi folks, just discovered Phonegap!

    My question is: How do I export my mobile game to use plugins such as Android Billing?

    For example, this guy here posted a plugin for Phonegap that does multi platform billing: How do I ... use this in Construct 2?

  • Ashley - Could you PM me? I'd like to discuss releasing a Chromecast support plugin to the community, if your team is interested.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Hi Folks, I was able to get it working!

    I was pretty close to making a native plugin for Construct 2. It recognized my app started and all that, but couldn't figure out how to have the Cast API listener always running.

    So I reverted to my nasty hack.

    After exporting the game, I simply edit index.html and add my external javascript API I wrote for Chromecast. Works like a friggin charm. I make heavy use of c2_callFunction("myFucntion", [1,2,3]);

    The more I use Construct 2, the more I absolutely fall in love with this. I'm going to make SO MANY APPS. You guys rock.

  • Hi guys, new here. FANTASTIC game engine.

    I'm trying to load in the Javascript library, which I've done so like this:

    	instanceProto.onCreate = function()
	{
		var self = this;
		
		
		// ===================
		//
		// CHROME CAST ENGINE
		//
		// ===================
		
		console.log("Attempting to load cast_receiver.js");
		
		$.ajax({
		  url: "http://www.gstatic.com/cast/sdk/libs/receiver/2.0.0/cast_receiver.js",
		  dataType: "script",
		  success: function(){
			console.log("LOADED: cast_receiver.js");
		  }
		});
		
		console.log("Finished cast_receiver loading");
[/code:3dqp1161]

I can't figure out how to load this external JS any other way. 

[b]Here is the next bit of code I'm having trouble with: [/b]

[code:3dqp1161]
// CHROME CAST INIT
		cast.receiver.logger.setLevelValue(0);
		window.castReceiverManager = cast.receiver.CastReceiverManager.getInstance();
		console.log('Starting Receiver Manager');
		
		// handler for the 'ready' event
		castReceiverManager.onReady = function(event) {
		  console.log('Received Ready event: ' + JSON.stringify(event.data));
		  window.castReceiverManager.setApplicationState("Application status is ready...");
		  console.log("Application status is ready...");
		};
		
		console.log('COMPLETE:  Receiver Manager');
		
		
		// handler for 'senderconnected' event
		castReceiverManager.onSenderConnected = function(event) {
			console.log('Received Sender Connected event: ' + event.data);
			console.log(window.castReceiverManager.getSender(event.data).userAgent);

		};
		
		
		// handler for 'senderdisconnected' event
		castReceiverManager.onSenderDisconnected = function(event) {
		   console.log('Received Sender Disconnected event: ' + event.data);
		  if (window.castReceiverManager.getSenders().length == 0) {
			window.close();
		  }
		};
				
		
		// handler for 'systemvolumechanged' event
		//castReceiverManager.onSystemVolumeChanged = function(event) {
		// console.log('Received System Volume Changed event: ' + event.data['level'] + ' ' +
		//      event.data['muted']);
		//};
		
		// create a CastMessageBus to handle messages for a custom namespace
		window.messageBus =
		  window.castReceiverManager.getCastMessageBus(
			  'urn:x-cast:com.google.cast.sample.helloworld');
			  
		// handler for the CastMessageBus message event
		window.messageBus.onMessage = function(event) {
			console.log('Message [' + event.senderId + ']: ' + event.data);
			
			window.messageBus.send(event.senderId, event.data);
		  
		  
		}
		// initialize the CastReceiverManager with an application status message
		window.castReceiverManager.start({statusText: "Application is starting"});
		console.log('Receiver Manager started');
		
		
		console.log("-- Complete --");
[/code:3dqp1161]

The next question will be how do I make a player move forward? This is the code (from above) that is receiving messages from my Android phone:

[code:3dqp1161]
		// handler for the CastMessageBus message event
		window.messageBus.onMessage = function(event) {
			console.log('Message [' + event.senderId + ']: ' + event.data);
			
			window.messageBus.send(event.senderId, event.data);
		  
                        // ON A NORMAL JAVASCRIPT PAGE I COULD DO THINGS LIKE THIS:
                       $("#player").css({left: "+="+event.data});
		  
		}
[/code:3dqp1161]

Your help is appreciated
