Windows phone live tiles

hi, i wondering how can i use live tiles function in windows phone 8 game with unity? do unity have some line of code to do that?

Hi,

You would need a plugin to do that. There are a few WP8 plugins, but from my search the only one that handles Live Tiles is my own plugin, the BFS WP8 Goodies Plugin, available for $20. It will save you more time than it would take to write your own plugin for live tiles, plus it comes with a bunch of other features :slight_smile:

oh thanks… i will look into it…

Hello,
Just purchased!
Could you please let me know if the plugin can make use of the try/buy option provided on windows phones ?
If not, can this be integrated?
Many Thanks

Its very easy to ad live tile support and purchase/trial support from Visual Studio / .net code without the use of any plugin. go to dev.windoiwsphone.com and all documentation / samples are available.

Hi Trelobyte,

In the plugin you can check WP8Goodies.IAP.IsTrial(). If it is true, then the app is running on a trial, and you can change / disable features as required. If it is false, then they have purchased the app and you should provide the full functionality.

Check out the porting documentation, Game development for desktop | Unity

There is a section on how to implement live tiles for WP8.
