@BBEnk‌ did you do anything outside of making the project size the watch size?

Sorry, what do you mean?

When you made the game for the watch, did you do anything special? I assume you altered the project size to match the resolution of the watch, or did you not do that?

BBEnk

Oh yea I changed scene size to match the watches 320x320 thats really all it takes. I even tested this with the Tizen Wearable SDK and it worked,lol. but was not really playable on the emulator on my computer to slow.

BBEnk

I might also mention to those interested in this that the Tizen Store and the Samsung Gear Store are not the same.

Any further info on this from Gamesalad? Here's a link to the SDK. http://developer.samsung.com/samsung-gear

@BBEnk did you try it with the new SDK?

BBEnk

I used b1.

BobD

Are you saying we can already build for Samsung Gear 2? We just build for Tizen and then what?? Please specify steps if possible!

hzapps

As anyone starts to prepare for apps for this challenge keep us up to date.

Templates developed in GS to be used with appropriate screen size. etc

BBEnk

You only need to change scene size to 320x320 and use stretch, see my little Flappy experiment below.

hzapps

Excellent. Thanks for the information and clarification.

As the competition starts on May 8th, it will be a big interest to see the parameters for submission

If we can join this challenge, I want to get more information. How we can submit with gamesalad proj?

If we change screen size 320x320 , can it work with gear? are we sure?
