Connect the SDK to the Game

For Supported Game Engine

• Unity setup guide.
• Construct 3 setup guide.
• GameMaker setup guide.
• Defold setup guide.

Using JavaScript

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.SpellSyncConfig = {
    projectId: 2782,
    pubilcToken: 'xT3RpsJMXpKWHPrTWkv3VBeHJKvCBccT',
    async onReady(ss) {
        const { player, ads } = ss;

        // 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.
