Overview of this book

Ouya is a microconsole running its own version of the Android operating system. The console features an exclusive Ouya store for applications and games designed specifically for the Ouya platform. It runs a modified version of Android 4.1 Jellybean, and is open to rooting without voiding the warranty. All systems can be used as development kits which allow any Ouya owner to be a developer without any licensing fee. Ouya Unity Game Development offers detailed, easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions which will help you learn the ins and outs of Ouya development in Unity.From connecting your device with Android Debug Bridge to publishing it on the Ouya Developer Portal, this book will explain the processes involved in creating a game from scratch. As you progress through the book, you will learn about scenes, prefabs, sounds, models, and animations. By the end of the seventh chapter, you will have a 3D game with multiple levels, the possibility of in-app purchases, and controller support that runs on both the Ouya and an Android phone. Starting with an introduction to Ouya, you will learn how to set up an environment and render game levels on Ouya. You will learn how to change levels and how to save the current level. You will then dive into Ouya controller integration and character animation. This book will also teach you the workings of audio source components, and will show you how to add textures to prefabs. Finally, you will learn how you can monetize the game. By the end of this book, you will have the game running on Ouya and geared up to create games on your own.

Removing In-App Purchases


The Ouya SDK makes In-App Purchase relatively simple; it integrates nicely with Unity out of the box. Android, on the other hand, can be a pain to integrate with In-App Purchase inside Unity unless you use a plugin from the Asset Store. For this reason, we'll be modifying our Android game to not use In-App Purchase and instead make it work like a full game purchased from one of the many Android app stores.

As we already have the code for giving the player all the levels when we have purchased the game on the Ouya, the simplest way to remove the In-App Purchase requirement would be to set the purchased int in PlayerPrefs when the game starts.

Double-click on your Sokoban script, as we're going to modify our Awake method. Add the following code to the top of it:

#if UNITY_ANDROID
if (OuyaSDK.IsOUYA () == false){
  PlayerPrefs.SetInt("purchased", 1);
}
#endif

The preceding code is checking if we are on Android but not on Ouya, and if that condition is met then we set...
