Connect the SDK to the Game​

info

Are you using Construct 3? Add the C3 Plugin - GamePush instead of this section. And specify project ID and public token from the Public Zone section in it.

To embed the SDK into your game, you need to add a script to the game’s index.html. The script can be found on the project page in the Install Code section.

Then declare a callback function to pass the SDK instance to. And then it’s up to you. The code below is given as an example; you can customize it by preference.

window.onGPInit = async (gp) => {
    const { player, ads } = gp;

    // Wait while the player syncs with the server
    await player.ready;
    // Show the ad preloader and wait until it ends
    await ads.showPreloader();
    // Show the sticky banner (then it will update itself)
    ads.showSticky();

    // You can start the game :)

    /**
     * Below you can see examples of functions for work with ads
     */

    // Call a fullscreen banner when the level is over
    // onLevelEnd();
    function onLevelEnd() {
        ads.showFullscreen();
    }

    // Player wants to get x5 reward for watching video
    // getX5Reward(500);
    async function getX5Reward(basicReward) {
        const success = await ads.showRewardedVideo();
        if (success) {
            // See out the video
            player.add('gold', 5 * basicReward);
        } else {
            // Doesn’t want to
            player.add('gold', basicReward);
        }
    }
};

It remains only to upload the game to the platforms and enjoy the result.
