This sample app demonstrates various APIs that are part of the Cross device SDK Developer Preview. This includes discovering nearby devices, establishing connections, and using Sessions APIs for transferring and sharing user experiences between devices.
This sample uses the Gradle build system. To build this project, import the project into Android Studio before running it on (at least) 2 devices.
The Cross device SDK Developer Preview requires that Google Play Services is installed on all participating devices and they are enrolled in the Beta Program
Basic game rules are pretty simple - each device is a player who can select rock, paper, or scissors during their turn. At the end of the turn (once every player makes their choice), the game will display a score giving a point to every "beat" (and in Multiplayer substracting a point for every opponent a player "loses" to).
To play Rock Paper Scissors, users should first select a game mode.
To demonstrate the different APIs and features of the Cross device SDK, we introduced the following modes:
- Two Player - Uses the Discovery & Secure Connection APIs (see this section of developer docs for more information).
- Two Player Sessions - Using Sessions API to achieve the same as above (see Sessions).
- Single Player - Uses the Session Transfer API to demonstrate seamless game transfer to a different device. In this mode a player is matched with an AI oponent.
- Multiplayer - Uses the Session Share API to create a multiplayer game where other devices can be invited to join and participate.
