The Project

Open the Project

Our Template uses Cranberrygame’s Cordova Plugins (in the latest update). So in order to open the project you have to install the needed plugins first.

Used plugins are

• Cordova IAP
• Cordova Game
• Cordova Power Management

Please download the plugins here. They are all included in this package.

If you don’t know how to install plugins, please check our doc here.

Add your ID’s

Some of the plugins need ID’s (like the AdMob Ads IDs). In order to add yours, please open the project with Construct 2 and select the corresponding plugin in the Projects Bar.

AdMob Ad IDs

Replace “YOUR_ID” with your own AdMob ID.

Google Play Developer Console – Your App/Game – Services & APIs

Google Play Game App ID

There is no need to add your APP ID in the Construct 2 project. This ID must be added later in the Intel XDK Project.

 

Export your Game

If you want to build a mobile game using our Jump and Run template, please follow the steps shown below.

Export to Cordova

Select “Cordova” as platform.

Uncheck “Minify script”.

Check “Use new Intel XDK project format”. If you don’t have this option, update Construct 2 to r227 or higher.

 Adjust the Basement.xdk file

Unfortunately there is an issue with the Cordova Plugins. So we have to adjust the “YOUR GAME Basement.xdk” file before you import it to Intel XDK!

Open it with a Code Editor and search for the Cordova Plugins.

Delete the selected code and save the file. Please note that the “,” is selected as well! Otherwise it breaks the file.

Import Project

Now switch to Intel XDK and import the project with “Open An Intel XDK Project”

and select your “… Basement.xdk” file.

For a more detailed guide, please see here.

Re-Add the Plugins

In order to add now the plugins we had to delete before, select your project and then go to “Plugin Management”.

Then click on the “+” symbol.

Select Third-Party Plugins and then…

Cordova Game

Plugin Source: Cordova Plugin registry

Plugin ID: cordova-plugin-game

Then click on “Add Plugin”. You will then prompt to input your Google Play Game APP ID (only numeric!).

Cordova AdMob

Plugin Source: Cordova Plugin registry

Plugin ID: cordova-plugin-ad-admob

Then click on “Add Plugin”.

Cordova IAP

Plugin Source: Cordova Plugin registry

Plugin ID: cordova-plugin-payment-iap

Then click on “Add Plugin”.

Cordova Powermanagement
