Hi, anyone know if it is possible to create something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN5_oiDqMew
or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cp3K95yZd4 with Unity?
Hook up several iphones and use the ipad as the “screen”.
Thanks,

It can help:

otherwise take iOS SDK
cheers
You can indeed use iphones up as controllers for ipad, there are some family game collections that do that, they hand out the ipad “screen app” for free and sell controller licenses for iphone ![]()
But you will need to use iOS SDK to hook up GameKit for it or buy the GameKit plugin from Prime31
Thanks for the replies ![]()
rombowich: I have looked rough through that tutorial, but its a while ago, so will take a deeper look at it.
dreamora: I will take a look at the Prime31 plugin for GameKit.
the multiplayer part won’t help cause you definitely don’t want all these devices to connect to the masterserver back to your living room.
Unity at the time has no possibility to allow adhoc connections at all (GameKit support was originally planned for 3.0 but as other iOS feature additions like a 2d system, it go postphoned), thats what the GameKit plugin is actually for
Its the iOS standard way for adhoc communication
How about iPhone to Mac OSX like Chopper 2 for example. Is there a Gamekit equiv for OSX?
Shouldn’t be too hard to do by modifying the networking example projects… I’m going to give it a go now. I’ll post later if I make any progress.
Unhappily no and for most parts what gamekit is for it makes no sense (bluetooth - wifi adhoc, two things you don’t use that regularly with a computer).
But nothing prevents you from using System.Net (given you are on iOS Pro) or unity networking with RPCs to send messages around there as they normally will be on the same wifi (if you really want to do with bluetooth you would have to go down one layer and use bluetooth directly on the iOS)
