Going over every little detail in the software forced me to learn more.Īfter trying to work on a utility app, apparently there's a lot more to learn. There were a lot of cool features in Stencyl that I missed or overlooked. I realized that a lot of the things I was doing to port my games from GameSalad to Stencyl was the hard way. While working on the book, I learned so much about Stencyl that it changed the way I think about game development. When I actually tried to do that, I ran into trouble.

I did mention in the book that Stencyl could be used for more than just games. I'm tired right now, so I probably shouldn't be looking into other projects. I'm burned out from working on the book, so maybe I'll look into this issue more later. I think this is something I can fix, but it didn't seem like a quick fix.

I tried to figure out how to do that with Haxe code, but I got lost. This came in handy for a person like me who knows a little coding but not enough to create a game on my own. It wasn't so clear to me how to get that in Stencyl. In terminal, I can use curl to get the "HEAD" and HTTP Status Code. Issue #2 – It's not clear what happens when an HTTP Request block fails. Stencyl exports to Xcode, so I should be able to fix one issue. What's the point of updating the badge icon if you're already in the app? I didn't get too grumpy about that. Stencyl, a software platform that allows aspiring individual developers to create their own games simply and easily, has just had it’s first few games emerge. Issue #1 – Doesn't that make the Badge Icon block worthless? Apparently, Stencyl iOS apps don't run in the background. I quickly hit problems.įirst, I saw this thread.and was surprised that there was no reply. I felt so passionate about this idea that I decided to take a quick break from the book to research this issue. I started wondering, couldn't I build this easily with Stencyl? It has HTTP requests, it has a badge icon, I could do the charts with vector graphics. It seemed like such a simple task, I started thinking that I should build it myself. I've been having a technical problem that I think I can solve with an app. Instead, simply explain that Stencyl starts out as fun and a great learning tool – but the software can be used for more than just games. The idea is to not hit you over the head with my experiences as a developer. Unlike my GameSalad book, I try not to tell stories and I avoid the word "I". Once you have done this, you can use the methods provided in the Drag and Drop library, listed below, to convey the user's choice through to the SDKs you have integrated.In my Stencyl book, I really tried to not get preachy.

Ultimately, the responsibility lies with you to ensure that you are meeting the appropriate regulation.įor the majority of SDKs that support GDPR, you must present an appropriate choice to the user, clearly outlining what the user is agreeing to and giving them a clear choice to opt in or out. If something is way off to the point where the article isnt followable, let us know in the comments.

The GDPR does not permit automatically opting users in, even if an opt-out method is provided it must be an explicit opt-in.Įnhance exposes some functionality to make it possible to use these GDPR compliancy features of the SDKs you include when Enhancing your app. Download and install Stencyl before starting this crash course. Some service providers require users to provide their own "opt-in" dialog, which must present a clear choice to the end-user and allow them to either opt-in to having their data collected and processed, or opt-out entirely. Service providers have been updating their SDKs to offer methods that allow you to opt in and out of data collection. As of May 25th 2018, the new GDPR law will be fully enforced, which means that for your client in the EU you must ensure that your apps are compliant.
