GameStick API

[MrTAToad]

The GameStick SDK is finally available (which is another Android system - only this one is for converting TV's to "Smart" TV's).

The good part out this system is that C++ is supported directly : http://gamestick.tv/documentation/

This can be very interesting... I read about this console it's the first sold in UK...

[MrTAToad]

Yes, apparently its out early next month.

[mentalthink]

    I ear this console was before in the market than OUYA... 

[MrTAToad]

It was, but apparently it became too popular to release early!

Delayed again - http://www.microconsoleworld.com/2013/10/29/gamestick-delayed-now-releasing-november-8th/

Still, that's not too long to wait.

Its easy to been intergrated to androidextras. I'm only need the name of the controllers (but the reamining system should allready works on that one) and get inapp to work on that one. You would only need to change few bits for inapp in your code.

so get ouya to works first.

My brother received his KickStarter version today,
I've got mine on order from Amazon, ship date is stated to be 30th of November.
Guess I'll need to bug him to let me use it.

Unfortunately it looks like there's now way to develop with this version.
You need the the one that says DEV on it to install APK's

How does the GameStick feel on th hand? Is the button sensitive or clunky? I do consider buying one but it's not available in my country yet.

[Ian Price]

If it wasn't for the DEV/Non-Dev units I'd consider getting one too.

Will the non-Dev units eventually offer the ability to develop for them in the future or do you have to buy them directly from the company? Are they more expensive/limited (both in terms of performance and numbers of units).

You should a least side install using adp or soon after release. Im would get things to work on ouya first and then game sticks, but have no plans to order one by now. but I'm would like to help to support the game sticks controller, which should works out or the box with android extras througt remapping feature. Howover if I'm can get the controller name, it's piece of cake to support it....

So that hence I'm got the ouya first. Then others should been pretty easy to get working.

[MrTAToad]

Its also possible it gets delayed again...    If it is, then I suspect it may never get released...

Whilst I could download the SDK, I still haven't had any actual communication from them...
