Viveport SDK Arcade Session Start/Stop(Where, When)

WadupGames · ‎06-26-2017

Hey

Can you explain how to integrate the Arcade Sessions functionality?

Like when/where in the Game does arcade session need to be Started and Stopped. Is it for example every time a round based game starts/ends or when the Game was first started and quit?

Does it need to be as a button for arcade owners? Please explain in detail. I am using Unity engine.

Also as i understand only mandatory integrations for Viveport SDK is the script for initializing viveport, based on ID-s(ViveportDemo.cs for Unity)?

All the best,

Rando

Ans. Please refer to:https://developer.viveport.com/documents/sdk/en/api_session.html#viveport-arcade-session-work-flow

Does it need to be as a button for arcade owners? Please explain in detail. I am using Unity engine. Ans. Game should design its own way to start/stop a session. Take a famous arcade game “Street Fighter” as example: A session starts after the player chooses a character and starts the first fight. You should call Start() at this moment. After the player loses twice, game is over, and a session ends. You should call Stop()

Also as i understand only mandatory integrations for Viveport SDK is the script for initializing viveport, based on ID-s(ViveportDemo.cs for Unity)?
