This new version of AppGameKit brings many new features and a number of maintenance improvements and fixes. For some time the game development community have been asking for improved file and folder controls. Today we're able to satisfy that need with a host of new commands. We've also added a command so you can control vibration feedback on mobile devices.
There's a host of fixes and maintenance improvements. You can read the full change list here;
Strings
- Added ByteLen command to return the size of a string in bytes
Haptics
- Added VibrateDevice command to enable vibration on Android and iOS
In-App Purchases
- Fixed InAppPurchaseRestore causing a crash on iOS
Android
- Fixed Android images loaded with LoadImageResized sometimes not being loaded
- Fixed Android SetDeviceCameraToImage somtimes cropping the image incorrectly

File Commands
- Added SimplifyPath, JoinPaths, and IsAbsolutePath commands to manage file paths
- Added CountWindowsDrives and GetWindowsDrive to get the drives available on Windows devices
- ChooseRawFile now has an extra parameter to return the full path instead of copying the file to the write folder
- Added OpenRawFolder, GetRawFolderNumFiles, GetRawFolderNumFolders, GetRawFolderFileName, and GetRawFolderFolderName to get the contents of any folder anywhere on the filesystem on all platforms
- Any command that takes a file path can now use an absolute path with the prefix "raw:" to allow access to files anywhere on the filesystem on all platforms, e.g. "raw:C:\MyFolder\MyFile.txt"
- SetRawWritePath is now deprecated in favour of the above raw folder commands and raw file paths
-
GetFirstFile, GetFirstFolder, GetFileCount, and GetFolderCount now have an extra parameter to return only files from the read folder, or write folder, or both (default)
