AdMob / Re: [iOS & Android] AdMob Extension [2.1]

« on: June 25, 2014, 12:46:43 am »

Hi Abliblablobla,

in your guide, you explain that for interstitial banner, we must use initialize block only once in a user session.
So, this is my question: when an user lost focus, and then gain focus, is it considered a new user session ?

I tell you this, because, I have tested that when I lost focus, and then re-open my game, interstitial banner aren't showed anymore. Probably, because I doesn't initialize them. Is this correct ?

Thank you

I have seen that there is already a post for this. Just to confirm that on Android 4.4 AdMob isn't shown anymore.

Please Abliblablobla, can you look at this ?

Thank you.


P.S.: Jon, from 1 August Google switch to Google Play Services to show ads, so some changes will be needed to Stencyl (https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/#play)

AdMob / Re: [iOS & Android] AdMob Extension [2.1]

« on: May 07, 2014, 06:14:07 am »

Sorry for my noob question, but how can I use iAds when it cannot load and replace it with ADMob ?
I know that there is a block that can do it, but how should I use this block ?
Should I insert 'mobile ad' from Stencyl in a IF cycle ?
Or I use it as usual and after it I insert the block 'when ad area fail to load' to show Admob ? Is it automatic ?

Thank you

Thank you very much Abliblablobla for your explanation.
Only one more (stupid) question : when I use your green block to show ads banner, where are you recommend to use it to show in all scenes ? In starting Scene ? Or should I use it in every scene that I want to show ads ?

You don't need to use the "show banner" block every time you switch to a different scene. If you use a "show banner" block you don't need to use it again unless you use a "hide banner" block. So if you want to show a banner at the top of your starting scene, you can use it there and the banner will stay there even if you switch to another scene, until you hide it. In my opinion, it isn't a good idea to show a banner (or an interstitial) before a user starts to play because he/she would say: "What? I have not even started to play this game and I am already seeing ads?".
And last but not least, you don't have to use a "show banner" block to refresh its content because it refreshes by itself.

Thank you Abliblablobla.
Is there a possibility to block or stop or close (not to hide) ads ?
For example I need to stop it when I lose focus.

Thank you

I can use green block, so your extension are correctly installed.
But If I use only block from stencyl, ads are always showed, while it's not so if i use your block.
Two little question:
- if I use your extension, do I configure in setting/mobile/monetization admob publisher key ? Or I configure it only in your block ?
- Is it possible that this extension can use more cpu under android ? I see that when I close a game (background) cpu tend to stay at 10%, while if I disable this extension and disable block green, cpu stay at 1/2%.

Thank you

Hi,
why if I use this extension, after it show few ads, they disappear ?
while if I use standard block from Stencyl, they are always show in all my scenes.

Thanks

P.s.: for use this extension, I have remove admob publish key from setting-mobile-monetization

Ask a Question / Performance: Game Attribute (purple) Vs Attribute (blue)

« on: April 06, 2014, 04:18:04 am »

Hi,

my questions are specific for performance and optimization of a game; so :

- In an always cycle, is preferable to use the blue variable ?
- what the impact of processor and memory between Game Attribute Vs Attribute ?

My impression is that Attribute (blue) is more reliable to use with older smartphone. is this correct ?

Thank you for your reply.

Ask a Question / Loading time: why my game take too long to start ?

« on: March 26, 2014, 10:23:03 am »

Hi,

this is my situation :

- 40 actor
- 4 background
- 9 Font
- 15 scene
- 10 sound
- 10 actor behaviors
- 10 scene behaviors

I use separate Atlas and load them only when they are needed.
all actor are killed when are out of scene, and when they aren't needed.

On startup, memory use is under 7Mb. In game there aren't any problem of memory and game-play is good (FPS are always over 56).

Everything seems to be ok, but It is not so.
On Android, load this game can take from 10 seconds to 2 min, depending on the CPU of the smartphone.

Now, this is my question: what can I do ? Where can I see to optimize loading time ?

Ask a Question / Re: App Scaling on Android: Full Screen doesn't work

« on: March 25, 2014, 12:35:53 pm »

Ok, I understand it. But you have no answering my question : what would be the 'best' scene size ?
Other little question: most game app, scaling to full screen independent of screen resolution without any stretch. What is the secret ?

Thank you rob1221,

but what about this two articles :

http://blog.stencyl.com/?p=1111
and
http://www.stencyl.com/help/view/mobile-app-scaling/

both says that every app (android too) MUST be created at 320x480 because Stencyl adapts application on every screen with its scaling mode and with our graphics import (4x).

Now, you tell me that I should use a big scene; can you explain what scaling mode should I use ?

Thank you for your support.
