A couple new features we released as of July 28th, 2024:

Comprehensive Documentation Completed : We have completed the full documentation for the $GG Gig Game API library. This guide covers everything from initial setup to advanced features, including detailed descriptions, code examples, and best practices. It was good enough that ChatGPT was able to correctly write a simplistic multiplayer Rock-Paper-Scissors mobile game once it was trained on it. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/emMnQja3.

New Feature - Mobile Device Motion and Geolocation Support : We’ve added support for mobile device motion and geolocation. Now, you can create immersive experiences by leveraging device sensors and location data directly within your games. With accelerometer support, your games can respond to players' physical movements, such as tilting, shaking, or rotating their devices. Additionally, geolocation allows you to design location-based games that provide content or challenges based on players' real-world locations.

New App Gameplay Modes : We've also introduced new gameplay modes. The "Player Controller-Only Multiplayer" mode is ideal for games that support multiple players using controllers only, including the host who will also participate as a player. The "Player Controller-Only Single Player" mode is perfect for games designed for a single player using a controller to interact with the game environment. This extends the library beyond just social games.
