Will Sparrow framework run in tvOs?

Hi,

Any idea if it is planned to run the framework over tvos ??

I haven't tried it yet, but I don't it it think will be hard to support. Although tvOS is a more restricted subset of iOS, it shouldn't affect Sparrow. I'll try to look into it more soon.

I'm planning on trying to get my game working on tvOS. It supports OpenGL so it shouldn't be too hard I wouldn't think. It may depend on how the screen presents itself, it's 1080p with @1x.

I don't think I am allowed to talk about it, but if it needs some testing on hardware I would not mind giving it a test. 🙂

Cheers

The biggest problem is all the touch classes that do not work the same way ... any idea ???

I updated the Github master with tvOS support, there's a new SparrowTV target included in the Xcode project. Since presses work differently than touches, the stage will now dispatch 'SPPressEvent' event objects that encapsulate the presses. You can use these to respond to AppleTV remote button presses.

Please give it a test and let me know if there are any issues!

I am putting together a casual game for iOS and tvOS, it uses Sparrow for sound. So far no problems. The only thing that is a bit inconvenient is that you should include the project source instead of the framework.

Sorry, exactly not sure what you mean; are you saying asking for a separate project for tvOS?
