A few months back, before I bought Playmaker, I watched many of the tutorials. Now that I have Playmaker, I'm going back to those videos to learn the system.
Since there are no WP8 specific tutors, I am currently working on the iOS tutors and investigating the DEVICE actions.
I'm finding a lot of issues. I would expect that the WP8 support would allow all those actions to work. I assume that the DEVICE actions are Global to all the Mobile platforms (iOS, Android, Blackberry and WP8)?
In the the DEVICE ORIENTATION EVENT I cannot get my Nokia Lumia 1020 to react to Portrait_Upside_Down, Face_up or Face_down. ( and I never could trigger an Unknown, which is probably a good thing.)
With the DEVICE_SHAKE_EVENT, it fires once, on the first shake, then never fires again. You have to restart to get a shake event to trigger.
As I am hoping to publish to iOS, WP8 and Android, I'll need to be able to handle all three platforms.
Am I doing something wrong? Do the iOS tutorials need to be "fixed" to work with WP8? Or is this stuff broken in WP8?
I will continue to report as I work through the rest of the DEVICE actions. I am curious to see what may happen if I try to use Get iPhone Settings on WP8. It should be fun.
Thanks for listening.
