AirConsole Checklist

on airconsole we aim to provide high quality games before you submit your game you can use this checklist to make sure you have gone through every edge case some topics and their solutions are covered in our best practice guide https //developers2 airconsole com/best practices general my game includes the latest airconsole api all resources in my game are loaded over https i have tested my game with unstable connection and higher latency (read guide) https //developers2 airconsole com/handling unstable connections my game loads less than 50 mb (gzipped) of resources to start (enter main menu) additional resources that are loaded later do not exceed 50 mb (gzipped) per request i don't try to hide the top airconsole bar (using the deprecated showdefaultui() from the airconsole api) if i use the highscore api, i've tested that my game correctly handles all the cases from the checklist before launch https //developers airconsole com/high scores and ghost mode list screen my game is self explanatory or provides players with instructions on how to play my game works on different screen resolutions / aspect ratios (responsive design (tv resolution 960x540)) my game shows how many players are missing for the game to be started (or there is no minimal number of players in my game) if more players are connected than are allowed in my game, spare players are informed of that on their controllers (or there is no maximal number of players in my game) my game remains functional when devices connect during the game my game remains functional when devices disconnect during the game i did not hardcode device ids and my game accounts for the fact that device ids may not be consecutive my game displays the players' nicknames (see 'getnickname' in the api) instead of 'player 1' etc (or no names / titles are displayed) menus (level selection, settings etc ) can only be controlled by the master controller i have read and followed the high score guide https //developers2 airconsole com/high scores and ghost mode and the launch checklist within (or my game does not use high scores) i am using the airconsole keyboard https //github com/airconsole/airconsole keyboard for any text input in my game (or my game does not use any text input) i have added a custom loading screen https //developers2 airconsole com/unity custom loading (only games made with unity) controller my game works on different phone screen sizes (min 320x480) my game controller lets the player know which character / avatar they are controlling (using colors, labels etc) my game controller shows buttons labelled with their function or a relevant icon rather than letters that need to be explained on screen the layout (buttons, images, text, options ) of my game controller adapts to different in game situations (menu, in game, game over etc ) the individual buttons on my game controller are as big as possible on the phone screen my controller uses custom visuals that fit the art style of my game i am not using any html \<img> tags on my controller, but set images as \<div> backgrounds instead (so that no 'save image as' option appears) saving player state the player's game progress is saved using the controller's uid multiplayer progression is correctly saved in each player's uid on their controller sound and music settings are not saved but reset to default values on reload language settings are not saved but reset to the main screen language on reload localization i made sure that the game is fully playable i n english all text, menus, tutorials, instructions, and other information required to understand and play the game must be available in english if additional languages are supported, each of those languages must likewise provide a complete and fully playable experience, with no required content left untranslated i tested that the game loads the game in the same language as the main screen (browser or android tv) if the game does not support the language of the screen, the game defaults to english note only the language of the screen is relevant to the game, not the language of the controllers i tested that the phone loads the controller in the language set on the phone (defaulting to english if the language is unsupported) note the game and the controller may have different languages i have tested that my custom language menu in the game selection is reset to the main screen language setting when the game is reloaded (meaning it's not saved into the player's state) screen browsers your game works in all modern browsers i have tested

new ones join the game, it works gracefully notifies the players, and the game state is not stuck (the recommendation is not to allow to join in the middle of the level/race/gameplay but to take all the players to for example the main menu after showing a message on the main screen) i have tested that only the master controller can control the game menu i have tested that when the master controller leaves the game, one of the remaining players is designated as the new master, and that controller can control the game menu i have tested and confirmed that the game runs at 30 fps on
