PIANO TILES: DON’T TAP THE WHITE TILES

UNITY3D INSTALLATION

- this is instruction to download and install Unity3D -

SETUP ANDROID SDK

To create an Android app you need to install the Android SDK, which can be downloaded from: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

I have the SDK installed to c:\android-sdk-windows

Once the SDK is installed you need to add the Android 2.1 (API level 7) package. Run the SDK Manager and use it to download the API level 7 packages.

See here for more info:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html#AddingComponents

Lastly, you will need to install the USB device drivers for your Android device. Whilst it is possible to use the Android Emulator its performance is pretty bad (especially when emulating tablets) so you are much better off testing on a real device. If you are using a “Nexus” device you can install USB drivers using the SDK Manager, otherwise search the web for your devices drivers.

To test that everything is set up, plugin in your device, open a cmd prompt and run the following commands :

cd \android-sdk-windows\platform-toolsadb devices

Your plugged in device should be listed. You may have to enable USB debugging for your device. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and turn on USB debugging.

OPENING PROJECT

After finished Unity3D installation, open the Scenes folder under Assets folder../Assets/Scenes/

Open Preload Scene.

PS. To test the game, you have to be on Preload scene.

RESKINNING PROCESS

All Assets on this game can be modified directly outside Unity3D.

To re-skin the textures, all the images can be found under Textures folder../Assets/Textures/

You can replace or edit each image but don’t rename the file.

PS. If error occurred after replaced the assets, sometimes it because the texture is missing in Unity3D inspector.You may need to re-link the new asset to the inspector. (see image bellow)

ADD AND MODIFY SONGS

Song list can be found inside Songs Folder../Assets/Songs/

There you can find list of songs in txt format. You can add your own song, or modify existing song outside Unity3D program.File name of the text files represent the name of the song.

The file contains list of numbers that will be rendered by SongHandler Script.

To modify or add your own song, you need to understand these few things:

HOW TO WRITE A SONG CODE

As you can see, the music played are consist of a strings divided by _ symbol.the string is then parsed into some numbers, then used to call the suitable sound.

The number is presented as the normal number note.As example: 1 is Do

2 is Re3 is Mi

For higher note, add + (plus) before the note.As example: +1 is high Do

+2 is high Re+3 is high Mi

There are also a way to write the low note, by adding - (minus) before the note.As example: -5 is low Sol

-6 is low La-7 is low Si

Also for # note, just add # to increase the note by 1/2As example: 4#

5#+2#

To add your own song, create a new text file in this folder contains your string of notes, save it with your song name.

1. Select GlobalObject on Hierarchy tab.2. On the Inspector, in Song Handler Script, increase the Size variable.3. Drag your song file to the new element created on the GlobalObject inspector.

INTEGRATING REVMOB

First, register at Revmob website here: https://www.revmobmobileadnetwork.com/, then add your app to get your Revmob App ID.

Open GlobalScript with your editor (default using MonoDevelop). Quick search for REVMOB_APP_IDS.

Insert your Revmob App ID in the variable.

Example:

{ "Android", "53774be8580e682f03b0eeee"}

You will not see your ads when you press play on Unity3D. You will only see the ads when you run it on your Device.

For default, the ads will be shown once every 3 times player game over. But you can change the delay on the GlobalObject inspector.

Complete documentation of Revmob integration can be found here: http://sdk.revmobmobileadnetwork.com/unity.html

PUBLISH TO ANDROID

To publish to PlayStore, we need to build the apk file first.

Select File menu, then choose Build Setting.

1. Make sure you have all the scenes on the Scenes in Build arranged like in the picture. If the Scene in Build is empty, drag all the scenes there.

2. Choose Android Platform, then press the Player Setting button to show it on the Inspector.3. Fill your company name, and then name your own Piano Tiles game (this will be the name of the

application on your Android device). You can also change the game icon there.

4. Still on the Inspector, open the Other Settings tab, then fill your Bundle Identifier (this will be your application identifier for publishing on the PlayStore).

5. Open Publishing Settings. You may use existing keystroke (on the main folder of this project: LessonKeystore.keystore, password: 123456) or create your own Keystroke (choose Create New Keystroke, insert your password, on Alias, choose Create a new key -> fill the form).

6. Back to Build Settings window, then press Build.
