You should be able to see the list of users based on the instances data. Each game is another row in that table where the columns list the players 1-8 by name and by ID. So basically you'd need to create a listing that sorts through the rows and list the game ID and then when you select the game ID transfer that to you're join game button.

Yeh. Hope there's real time multiplayer soon. If gamesalad brings that. Then I will be going pro for sure

I love gamesalad as it is at the moment. But real time multiplayer would put gamesalad from 100% awesomeness to 800%

CodeMonster

yeh thats a true point actually, and since turn based is only possible we could create a game like bikerace? couldnt we? its where you see how fast you can race the track by yourself then another person has to beat it when they turn on there phone, so "turn based"
yeh didnt think about that, guess ill be buying pro when i can

CodeMonster

so is it possible to code all of the multiplayer stuff but it just wont work unless i buy pro?

CodeMonster

Yeh I will go pro. Just gotta save up abit more

Should. Has anyone gotten this to work? I know we're in early adoption stage so I'm not expecting too much but... I can't get this data.

I have two project files that connect with different playstogether accounts and one joins a game that the other has created. The game is then started and I switch to a debugging scene that lists the NetworkGameInstances table data.

The only columns for the current game/row that ever have data are: 1, 4, 6, 9, 12, and 13.* Since the player 2 data is in columns 14 & 15, I can't access it because it's blank.

*And that's only for the player/device that has joined a game; when I create a game, the NetworkGameInstances table is completely empty (one row of zeroed out data) for that player. I left the boolean columns off the list because my DisplayText expression finds them invalid. I'm guessing they are working, I just haven't taken the time to display them properly.

Ug. I kinda want to respond to that but I'm thinking I'd better not.
