I want to create a simple game for the Chromecast, where the game is on the TV and the phone is the controller.
I found two possible ways to do this: Google Manager API and Remote Display API, but both seem to be deprecated according to the documentation in these links:
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/gaming
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/remote
What are Googles future plans for developing games (and other non-media-streaming-apps) for the Chromecast?
Is it possible to create a game without the API above? (The game will be a simple quiz game)

I really don't have knowledge about this area (WebRTC, video conference, audio conference, etc).
I want to add to my system (web application) a client support using audio conference.
I was looking for Twilio, it seems a good solution, but I think it doesn't fit my case, because it always need a virtual phone number to get works and I don't need it at my system.
What I need is something like Facebook calls, Google Hangouts (without video).
Is there any solution/library/API for it? It's no necessary be a free solution.
I want to make a simple multiplayer game with Game Maker Studio 2 for mobile platforms, but it should work locally (via wi-fi or bluetooth).
For e.g. this is a list of existing games and my game will be classified as (Bluetooth | WIFI Direct | Online).
I have some experience in programming and GML should not be a problem for me.
But I want to know for sure whether it is possible to implement Wi-Fi Direct and bluetooth communication?
Required answer those who have already done it. Any plug-ins required for this?
I do not want to reinvent the wheel and modify some libraries or broken code. I just need a 100% working solution.
Why Game Maker Studio 2? Because I want to make a game with my friend who doesn't have any programming skills. So, we need some game editor like Game Maker Studio 2 despite the fact that I have programming experience. And now my task - is to solve the problem with local multiplayer before we start to make a game. Maybe there are other editors that fit these requirements?
Gamemaker has some built-in functions to make a local multiplayer (I assume it is what you mean by "WiFi"). if you are familiar with UDP/TCP, it's a plus. They can be found here :
https://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/002_reference/networking/index.html
I personally used them for a local multiplayer and it worked fine.
For the bluetooth, the devs are working on some functions, but I believe they didn't release them yet.
If you want to make a global multiplayer, you have to face a few tehnical issues (port forwarding, global matchmaking, etc.) I recommand GMnet, that comes in two flavors :
GMnet Punch if you simply want to communicate through a NAT with your own synchronisation strategy.
GMnet Engine if you don't want to worry about the details and let them do all the work for you.
The official website : https://gmnet-engine.org/engine/
Keep im mind that for a global matchmaking, you will probably need some kind of relay server, so that players can find the games hosted by other players. It is not that hard and GMnet comes with a java server program for this purpose, but it needs to be hosted on a server with direct internet access (no NAT).
Hope it was helpful !
Firstly, what I would like to achieve. I am building media system using Raspberry Pi device. So far there is mopidy service which as far as I know uses libspotify to play music from Spotify. Everything works really well. Except I would like to control my Raspberry Spotify playback from my desktop Spotify client or from my Android phone. Official clients do allow this feature to switch device.
I would like to implement same feature using libspotify.
I'm not even sure if it's possible using public API.
Any ideas how to achieve such thing are welcome.
Libspotify does not expose Spotify connect functionality. It's a limitation of the library and Spotify show no interest in improving it. So, this is not possible.
I am developing an Application which has a feature for searching and playing a song from spotify using the Spotify API. This is my first time using this API and wanted to know would the user (who is listening to the song) hear an audio advertisement, the same way we hear ads on the spotify desktop free account or he can listen to any number of songs without any ads.
No, libspotify applications will not have adverts played, and libspotify doesn't support advertisements at all. However, because of this, only Spotify Premium users can log into an application using libspotify.
I'm currently thinking of developing chess code with multi-player facility connected and played via bluetooth. For that I need to chalk out the phases, i mean systematic modules, that I should follow to develop the game. If anyone can state it or have any link that can help it out, it would be great.
Another thing I am developing this in J2ME, so can anyone give me an idea about the way to connect the game in two mobile devices through bluetooth in J2ME. I mean to say the class or file that is used to connect the gaming devices.
For the second part of your question: you need to make an SPP (serial) connection between the two devices, with one acting as a client and the other as a server; see this tutorial for more information.
Then you need to create your own protocol to allow the two devices to communicate everything they need to.
This will only work on handsets with JSR 82.
