I basically wanted to request a few commands to be added, but didn't find suitable place to do that.

So here it goes.

1) Shake device. (I guess it's self-explanatory)
2) Display submenu. Like the one here (On the most bottom of the picture)



That'd be it. I'll add something here when I find something else.

Kamac, since you use T2, maybe these can just be guides how to do shake & submenus and not have to necessarily be actual AppGameKit commands

It cannot be guides, because these must be actual AppGameKit commands. There's a few T2 developers, that's 1st, and 2nd is that it's very exhausting (if even possible) to use plain NDK to use these.

Besides, T1 users should have that possibility too.

As a T2 user I would prefer a guide today, than an AppGameKit command in 6 months' time!

I have this problem with saving sprites to the native iOS photo gallery.

Adding Shake device command shouldn't be too exhausting as it's platform dependant (For android/iOS only i presume).

for shake... just use the accelerometer [blublablu hope I spelt that correct]

for sub-menu you mean in-app?

as far as I know reading the MENU button function isn't currently possible in Tier 1...

but you could maybe program a long press lower screen function which pops up a few sprites to act as a menu no?

or did I miss something here?

Not user moving the device, but the device shaking

GetRawKeyPressed(), just that you have to know the keycode.

I am fairly sure the ACCELerometer is used to determing shakes as well as movements...

else please enlighten me

EDIT

Fixed in bold and below added

Pretty sure the answer here is in the ANDROID SDK documents

Yes, I'm pretty sure you could check for shake by setting a value each time the accelerometer changes direction and then if the value reaches a certain point within a certain time you call it a shake...

I'll try to do some tests if I get time (doubtful) but it shouldn't be too hard to work out.

I'm not sure about that. Normally you can define for how long to shake. But I'll test it later on. Thanks.

Kamac this is just 1 shake.
Most probably there is an extended version of the command.
