Extensions / Re: Poki SDK

« on: December 03, 2019, 08:05:56 am »

After doing some tests with a sample game I can see that the loading bar works fine in test mode but not when publishing.  If I test the game and then zip/upload the generated files, that also works fine, which means the problem has something to do with the publish game option.  It's unrelated to the Poki SDK since I was testing without it on Newgrounds.

Is sitelock really a giant code? I got this  code from them, but I thought it would be some domains only.

Yeah, just paste the whole thing in there at the place I marked.  It should show up as a single long line but that may depend on the text editor you're using.

Another thing, in POKI's QA tool the loading bar doesn't fill up, it's all black, even the game loading. Is this normal?

My games load quickly enough that I don't really notice the bar, but I have read about the loading bar not working for published HTML5 games.  I'm not sure what's going on there.

You can use the template tag which will replace the default template with the one in the extension.
<template path="templates" />

The game doesn't fill the screen because the aspect ratio stays the same and the game can't extend beyond the window.  I'm not sure how you would do what you're trying to do.  I tested the set screen size block but it had no visual effect.

Does <window resizable="true" /> in OpenFL Settings not work for HTML5 on mobile browsers?  Note that the website you're hosting the game on actually has to change the window size for the game to resize itself.

At some point the controls code for Stencyl was changed and it no longer supports multiple controls having the same key.  I'm not sure if that's the problem you're having though.

If there was a way to detect mouse scroll on Flash, I would do that for the hotbar (and shift-scroll for tools).

Have you seen this extension yet? http://community.stencyl.com/index.php/topic,31772.0.html

I think one of the code samples mentions ad block.  You could use that block to ask the player to disable ad block or you could use it to hide any rewarded ad buttons.  It's optional, but you should absolutely not use it to block the game.

That's done automatically with the ApplicationMain.hx template file included in the extension.

The game doesn't stretch but if your resolution is 16:9 then it shouldn't be a problem.  If you see small black bars on Poki's QA tool, especially when testing the large size, don't worry about it.

The easiest way to do this is to create attributes, modify those attributes with blocks, and then add a couple code blocks to set the master values.  For example, if you set an attribute called "X" and an attribute called "Y", you can use this code:

engine.master.x = _X;
engine.master.y = _Y;

The screen shake is a random adjustment of engine.master.x and engine.master.y, which you can adjust with some code.

Extensions / Poki SDK

« on: November 04, 2019, 12:02:49 pm »

This is an extension for the Poki.com SDK for HTML5 games that can be used by any developers approved by Poki.  If not already involved with Poki, you can check this page for more information: https://developers.poki.com/

The extension has 5 blocks, and the initialization happens automatically due to the template files that are replaced by the extension (thanks to Justin for helping with that).


Use this block to tell Poki when gameplay has started and stopped.


Show a standard ad and then the blocks inside the wrapper will be triggered when the ad either finishes or fails to show.  Ad rate throttling is done automatically on Poki's end.


Show a rewarded ad and then the blocks inside the wrapper will be triggered when the ad either finishes or fails to show.  If the embedded reward boolean is true inside the wrapper, then the ad was shown correctly and the player should be rewarded.


Returns true if an ad blocker was detected by Poki when starting.


Use this block when a happy event happens in your game.  Intensity is between 0 and 1.

For more info about when to use these blocks, refer to the instructions in this link, ignoring the code examples: https://sdk.poki.com/html5/

To enable debug mode for testing purposes, go to Settings > Advanced > Haxe Flags.
Then paste -D pokiDebug into that box.  When ready to publish your final build to Poki, remember to delete that line.

Poki games need to be sitelocked, but the sitelock code is not public and thus cannot be included in the extension.  When given the sitelock code, open templates/haxe/ApplicationMain.hx inside of the extension folder.  At or close to line 325 it says // INSERT POKI SITELOCK CODE HERE and you can either replace that line or paste the sitelock code just under it.  The sitelock can be tested on Poki's QA tool when the pokiDebug flag is disabled.

While not a part of this extension, Poki games need to be scalable on their site.  To enable automatic scaling, go to Settings > Advanced > OpenFL Settings and paste <window resizable="true" /> into that box.  Your game resolution will also need to be in the 16:9 aspect ratio.

If using the public build b10300, open up include.xml inside of the extension folder and uncomment the line that says <set name="b10300" />

If there are issues with any Stencyl builds let me know as I've only tested with b10300 and b10417.

(must be signed in to the forums to download)

Update 1:
Restricted the sitelock code to non-debug mode since it caused a crash when testing locally.
Added a boolean block to check if an ad blocker was detected by Poki on startup.

Ask a Question / Re: Help with game pad support for analog sticks

« on: November 01, 2019, 08:12:13 am »

An analog stick has X-axis and Y-axis with separate values.  Using the trigonometry blocks you can calculate the current angle of the stick using the "get pressure for control" block.
