Cross-platform code Android,UWP..

oleg

I started transferring my old android games to the UWP platform
And encountered that in fact the Gideros code is not cross-platform

UWP does not support:

(SoundChannel) = Sound:play(nil,true)

UWP supports:

(SoundChannel) = Sound:play()

To make it easier for game developers to work, you need to document the differences in code for different platforms.

Also I found out earlier that UWP does not support shaders

Write here what functions of gideros and what platforms - are not supported, and what are analogs of functions for various platforms.

Uwp do support shaders, but in HLSL obviously, or lua

Also sound is supposed to be fully supported on uwp too, if not then it is a bug

When I turn on the sound repeat - the UWP game closes with an error

So yes it is a bug, I will try to reproduce it

Maybe it's due to some windows update, but the fact is that the game is not certified in the store if it does not run on the latest updates ..

@oleg, I tried:

local s=Sound.new("3.wav") s:play(nil,true)

and it works fine on UWP. What format of sound file are you using ?

Maybe the reason is in my file ?, can you check with my file?

Thanks @oleg, indeed it was crashing with your file, due to a sound buffer management issue in UWP specific code. I fixed it.
