SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Hi All,

Is it possible to 'invoke' a broadcast from within a PC based AGk app to tablet / mobile Android device running AGK Player.

ie. During game, you can send a "control panel" to an Android device to control the main game.

Just curious!

The broadcast side of AGK expects the code and media sent to it. I would assume code wise it would just want the bytecode. There are HTTP file send commands but no doubt the broadcaster would be expecting some form of handshake and command that all the files are sent.

The AGK language doesn't have any built in commands to simply broadcast to another machine and I'm not aware there are any docs on how the broadcaster accepts the data required.

You might get some pointers from the Tier 2 C++ code of interpreter.cpp ( C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\AppGameKit Studio\Tier 2\apps\interpreter )

This should let you communicate between your PC and device

Thanks for the replies both, appreciated.

Also I have tested copying the bytecode.byc file to an (android) device and it works. The app needs to be restarted though
