SDK Guide | SDK Reference

---

Heroic Labs is AWS for game developers. Easily add social, multiplayer, and competitive features to any kind of game. The platform handles all server infrastructure required to power games built for desktop, mobile, browser, or web. The goal is to help game studios build beautiful social and multiplayer games which work at massive scale.

For a full list of the API have a look at the features.

Install

To install the DLL in your project go into the Unity editor menu and select "Assets -> Import New Asset" and select the "bin/Release/GameUpSDK.dll" file. This will place the DLL in your Unity project's Assets folder.

Once the SDK is installed create a new GameObject in your game and attach a new C# script component to it. Then add the following import:

using GameUp;

Copy and paste this code in your script, for example, in the Start method:

Client.ApiKey = "1fb234d5678948199cb858ab0905f657";

Client.Ping ((status, reason) => {
  Debug.LogFormat ("Could not connect to API got '{0}' with '{1}'.", status, reason);
});

The API key shown above must be replaced with one of your own from the Developer Dashboard. Run your game. A request will be sent to the Game API which will verify your API key is valid and the service is reachable.
