Hey guys,
Just a quick question today haha.
Does MMF2 have Bluetooth Capabilities with the iOS Exporter yet?
Or do I need to add it to my todo list? ;)

Add it <hug>
Fanotherpg: haha well I've only just looked into how to add Bluetooth to iOS Apps directly via Xcode and I need to include the GameKit framework which MMF2 iOS SDK seems to already do, so I actually might be able to add it :)Quote:

Don't expect an early beta yet. This is just confirming that it will be possible for me to create :)

Thats great! I will be happy to see this!
<.) wohooo!
Thanks Crazy_Ivan,
I hope you finish soon this great extension. :)
Hey guys,
In regard to all this positive feedback I wish to propose something to you guys.
For one I thought for sure this would've already existed,
or 2, people didn't want it haha.
So to you guys,
What sort of features would you like to see in this extension.
For example:
Connect - On Connect
Disconnect - On Disconnect
Send Message to Peers - Message Received
etc.
Regards
Tim Ellis
All mentioned by you +
Multiple
Send String Name/ID + Content
Send Value Name/ID + Content
That would allow us to create turn based games or maybe even real time depending on bluetooth performance without need of 3G or WiFi.
If you can do bluetooth keyboard input, I can make a widget for iCade support for you all and that'd guarantee us all more sales! ;-)
\o/ Bluetooth Keyboard, iCade and Onlive Controller !
This would be great!Quote:

Is this what you're after?
Wouldn't bluetooth keyboards already be supported?Quote:

Crazy Ivan. Yes. But also get know who is host and who is receiver. Bluetooth ID.
I've got bluetooth keyboard at work so I could verify it. Some time this week. But not sure about iCade and Onlive controllers.
iCade (and I think the onlive controller, could be wrong) tricks iOS into thinking its a keyboard, either plugged in through the dock port or bluetooth.

I dont know how it can be made but my 2 main things would be:
send messages in realtime (chat...)
somehow everything around the active object for playing simple games like pong with each other (but honestly, i dont know if this can be done)
thx so far!
This should be a pretty basic feature to add :)Quote:

Possibly, but the keyboard extension is disabled when using the iOS runtime, so you can't detect key input unless you are working in an edit box, and you can't use an invisible, off-screen edit box as you wouldn't be able to set it as the focus and the on-screen keyboard would appear if you could.Quote:

But who of us own iCade to test it?
Let me try:
In general: the possibility to play games together with 2 or more iphones in reach. I dont know if this is something that can be done with bluetooth (but i guess there are some more factors that need to be thought of). What iŽd love to see is something like lacewing (playing together) but via bluetooth (something like it can be done with the new psp or the 3ds)...or if you go way back - something that could be done with the game boy link cable. But i am pretty sure this could be very very tricky! Good luck and have a good day!
Iamjot now you can do some multiplayer with game centre objects but not over Bluetooth. Anyway if it would work it would be cool to have Bluetooth rxtension for PC and Mac as well.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to keep you guys in the loop.
Uni has been very stressful, one assignment after another, but I am still attempting to code this extension in my spare time, after all I love the Clickteam Community and I want to give something back for all the awesome products they provide :)
Additionally, I'm trying to get my hands on another iOS Device (with bluetooth) so that I can hopefully thoroughly test the extension before letting it loose.
Regards
Tim Ellis - <Currently annoyed at uni work>
Another update :)

Great Crazy_Ivan! :)
Yeeees!
Crazy_Ivan, if you need any inspiration for extensions to make here is a thread: http://community.clickteam.com/showthread.php?t=67990 I suppose we can tick off Bluetooth. :-)
Any update on this? I am excited to get icade support in my app. :D
The update is I've just gotta get sending and receiving messaging working properly then I can get an early Alpha out.
Additionally I am doing some other private paid development at the same time so development on this has slowed down slightly, but rest assured I'm definitely still working on this :)

Tim Ellis
I need a few beta testers for my bluetooth extension.
PM if you're interested.
I can no longer test it myself because I can't get 2 iOS devices easily anymore.
Request sent :)
How's it getting on? I'll send you a PM as I am interested in helping you test this :)
Hey JosephFTaylor, here's the beta:

Hi all, and thanks Crazy_Ivan for what you're doing.
What about integrating audio link management to the extension?
- Open audio link (mono- or bi-directional)
- On audio link open
- Nice-to-have: On audio (when originating device sends sound)... though could be tough.
