Android/OUYA

I know you (Grazer) said you were working on an Android builder thing, but would be really cool is if it would be compatible with OUYA. I bought an OUYA hoping to learn to make games, but most of the game makers are $100 or so to export it to Android (OUYA).

That would be so freakin’ awesome!Xbox too?Mabye PS4?

Two things, it’s barely compatible with phones, and doesn’t have any way to detect a controller. However, here’s some information about uploading your own games apk to your console.

Here’s the key codes for mapping your controls.

We can’t currently set joystick controls, but if you’re willing to wait until a good while after it runs smoothly on all phones and tablets, maybe you’ll get lucky. The OUYA didn’t get as popular as we expected, so developing for it isn’t a big thing. In fact, most people probably never heard of it.

I actually put an APK of my game on my ouya and the arrow keys work as a d-pad. I will hopefully make a video soon to show you all it.

I don’t have an OUYA - I would love to see that video :slight_smile:

The game does not always load correctly (or at all), messing up assets, it doesn’t play music, and making some buttons not work. It works decent otherwise. Sorry for the horrible quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLVpZYlXWxA&feature=youtu.be

That’s… Awesome!

How do you configure O,U,Y and A?

This is fantastic, thanks for posting!

The latest version of the Android exporter (you would have to rebuild) should fix the loading and sound issues.

Crazybots(http://www.flowlab.io/game/embed/26229)is loading right now for the OUYA!

It’s taking way too long to load(been loading since yesterday)!

My new builds have been building for 2 days also.

ok, something is wrong then - I’ll take a look.

Hey, so here’s what happened.

Sorenof: Your icon didn’t upload correctly for some reason, and that has been blocking your build and holding up the queue for everyone. I replaced your icon file with a random image for now so that the build will complete. It should be ready in a few minutes.

RR.GOA: Yours should complete once Sorenof’s build is done.

It is now complete and works good. Music plays, loads fast, and loads accurately. There are slight pauses during gameplay but not enough to effect it much.

what game is it?

just submitted my game to the OUYA store,probably the first non-coded game on there!:smiley:

@sorenof what is the ouya store

ouya.tv

@ztg5, it’s the Online Store for the OUYA, a microconsole
