AWESOME POINTS

iKandy

Thanks for making this.... The GS Tutorials are pretty sketchy.

Have you found a tizen EULA? I could not find a basic one.

The_Gamesalad_Guru

Haven't looked yet. I'm not in a rush on this as I want to do it right.

brickamator

Why wouldn't you want $50 and 3 free months of pro?

The_Gamesalad_Guru

There is plenty of time to do it right and still get the bonus. You guys rush into things too fast. I value the performance of my game over a few bucks. I'm not desperate for money.

thanks for taking the time to put this together, it was very helpful to get the emulator up and running.

I suggest EVERYONE test their apps on the emulator. I found a couple of things I could fix right away.

Never a true word spoken.

I wish we had an idea of the screen sizes. As you can see the emulator only has two. I was shocked the emulator couldn't be adjusted to a custom size. I may just have to go with letterbox as overscan doesn't seem to work like on iOS. I'm going to try my iPad version on letterbox and see how it looks.

Dave, I think when you upload your binary, I saw something about screen sizes. They werent large. I found this under the 'device detail' tab -

720x1280 Supported
Tizen Manufacturer TIZEN GROUP TIZEN_2 720x1280 Supported

They list only 3 devices all with the same screen size. And from 3, all 3 were supported. I dont know if this helps

BBEnk

Yea it shows 2 sizes 480x800 and 720x1280 3 devices but they want 854x480 screen shots and 512 icon.

The_Gamesalad_Guru

Okay cool that helps. I may target the two sizes in the emulator and update when more details become available.

@FryingBaconStudios thanks for the videos I don't think I could have setup the emulator on my own.

In the Tizen Setup vid on the GS publishing page I understood the Widget Identifier to be your domain name only and when GS compiles it they would append the Display Name (Game name) to it.

In the Tizen Emulator vid I was able to drag and drop my widget in terminal and run it in the emulator without the tidal (~) after install in the command line i.e. ~/tizen-sdk/tools/sdb install (Drag and drop file here).

@FryingBaconStudios
I "Awesome'd" every single comment from you in here. Thanks for the videos.

SlickZero

Another great set of videos, Dave. Thanks for your time and work you put into them.

@FryingBaconStudios are you able to get overscan to work on the emulator? Is anyone having/had trouble getting this to work? I published with overscan but it won't work on the emulator it just displays in letterbox.

The_Gamesalad_Guru

Yes I noticed overscan doesn't seem to work in the emulator. I'm going to submit a bug report.

The_Gamesalad_Guru

Bumping in case some missed this.

The_Gamesalad_Guru

Pushing this up as people are still discovering Tizen.

I think FBS should have a sticky at the top, his contribution to GS with all his videos is simply amazing.

It takes a lot of time and effort to make videos (properly).

Knowledgeable about the subject matter (tick)

Steady pace with clear and concise instructions (tick)

I would give him a knighthood if i could

I was asked to do some video tutorials when TSB started doing them years ago but took a step back as i knew TSB was being paid for them and didn't want to step on anyones toes, now he has gone i think its time GS started talking to FBS.

Darren,

This means a lot to me coming from you guys over at DBA. You guys were here building and supporting this community long before I arrived on the scene. Once Tshirt retired from GS I decided someone needed to fill the big gap left by his absence. I felt since I got so much from his videos it was time I put my radio and television background to some use. I decided to put in the work and step up the production value, which I was defiantly capable of but wasn't doing. I invested in the best software for screen recording and such. Before I do a video I research all the elements and test it all out myself. I spent hours researching the Tizen emulator. People don't realize how much time is involved in producing one 10 minute video. Behind each video I make is hours or days of research, recording, editing et... Having said all that, I only do it to support this community period. I could sell access to my videos, I could put ads on my videos as I'm a YouTube partner but I want my videos to be free and free from distraction. A few people from time to time drop me a PM to thank me for my videos and to them I thank for their kind encouraging words!

Very helpful videos FBS. I actually could not get my game to run on the emulator until I turned CPU off but left GPU on, It's slow as all #$% but it worked and I could test back button.

@FryingBaconStudios ok thanks FB

@FryingBaconStudios

Great work on this.. finally getting round to looking a Tizan... mainly cause the whole family (about 18 in all) are on a Xmas steam train and I'm home with our 7 monthold with a xmas bug... he's sleeping so I'm Tizen-ing.

Thanks for the vids, been bookmarked for a while now.

Is anyone having the same problems as me? Every time I run the emulator, my computer 100% freezes and loses connection with keyboard/mouse and I have to force shutdown via power button.

Also, every time I try to build the app it warns "errors exist in required project(s)", and my first app was rejected because apparently it's not installing.

Additionally, I have an S3 to test on, but even with "USB debugging" turned on, Tizen IDE does not recognize the device.



I've installed the Java Oracle 7 "JDK", but is there anything huge I'm missing here. It seems like I have all the problems possible.

Could @FryingBaconStudios or another expert please point me in the right direction. I just want SOMETHING to work, it doesn't have to fix everything. Primarily I want to see what this warning sign is about so I can actually get a signed binary.

Here is exactly what I've done-

1. Installed Oracle 7 "JDK" and Tizen IDE for Mac OS X (Intel)

2. Published game for platform "iPhone Portrait" in GameSalad Creator.

3. Added icon and all the form details in the publishing portal, and generated/download the .wgt

4. Imported the .wgt file into Tizen SDK

***5. When building the app, it gives me the popup "errors exist in required project(s)", and something like "continue anyway?". I continued anyway and published to Tizen, but they rejected it saying it wouldn't install



Please, any help you can give that points me in the right direction is very much appreciated.

Thanks

(Sorry this post is so long, but I am trying to describe in detail so potential helpers can help effectively; I am very frustrated ~X( )
