Unity notes

Unity is the premier 2D/3D gaming platform out there.  I've just started going through a series of tutorials from Stone River Learning.  They're very nice.

Here's code for a 'constructor'.  A constructor is when a class or struct is created, its constructor is called. Constructors have the same name as the class or struct, and they usually initialize the data members of the new object. 
and here's a code snippet;
    public struct Question
    {
        public string questionText;
        public string[] answers;
        public int correctAnswer;

// This is the constructor that initializes the Question struct/object
        public Question(string questionText, string[] answers, int correctAnswer)
        {
            this.questionText = questionText;
            this.answers = answers;
            this.correctAnswer = correctAnswer;
        }
    }
        
    public Question testQuestion = new Question ("What is your favorite color?", new string[]{"blue","green","yellow"}, 0);

Enumeration snippet;
            foreach (GameObject p in TriviaPanels) {
                p.SetActive (false);

Simple Database creation for Apps

This is my quick go to for creating a data file to use in an app.  There are other better, quicker and more complex, but this is quick & easy/peasey!

• Create a CSV file in the speadsheet of your choice.  I use either Google's or OpenOffice.
• Run the file thru my favorite converter - Plist Converter, by cc ccc.  It's also easy.  Couldn't find the url, but here's what it looks like;

 

• Copy the resultant fileName.plist into your project.
•  Write yourself some code to translae it into an NSArray or somethin'.

That's all she wrote.

Uploading Photos and Creating Photo Albums

Apps are able to publish and create new photo albums, and publish photos via the Graph API on behalf of people or Facebook Pages. Photos can be uploaded by sending the actual image files, or by using URLs of images already on the internet.
Read These Docs

• Platform Policies that cover publishing behavior in apps.
• Guide to Publishing with the Graph API.

Use These APIs

• /{user-id}/albums to create empty photo albums for people.
• /{user-id}/photos to add individual photos for people.
• /{page-id}/albums to create empty photo albums for Facebook Pages.
• /{page-id}/photos to add individual photos for Facebook Pages.
• /{album-id}/photos to add photos to an existing album for people or for Pages.

Telling Stories with Open Graph

Open Graph lets apps tell stories on Facebook through a structured, strongly typed API.
People use stories to share the things they're doing, the people they're doing them with and the places where they happen. Open Graph lets you integrate apps deeply into the Facebook experience, which increases engagement, distribution and growth.
