Support for Bluetooth connected devices?

[gamesonytablet]

Hi,

Is there any way to support a network game with Bluetooth connected devices using TNet? Imagine trying to connect two iPhones (Apple has GameKit framework with GKSession class to support this).
If not, any plans in the future?

I just want my users to be able to connect quite simply, without having to connect through a server, especially when creating gameplay based on iPhone accelerometer, and the players actually next each other with their iPhones connected by Bluetooth (like a pitcher and batter game).

Yup, it's on the roadmap. I want this feature myself for my upcoming game, so it's a sure sign that I'll add it at some point.

  Great! I'm up and ready for when this functionality will be released.

Hi, I spread the news on my developer blog, and got 70+ PV today, including lots of RT on Twitter. Seems people are interested in Bluetooth in Japan.

Just wanted to let you know that I got responses like:

• Bluetooth Gamepad connection would be interesting as well
• There are other interesting Bluetooth gadgets which would add lots of value

Specifically, the other gadgets including devices that press camera buttons, or SensorTag which supports sensors for many usages.

I know I'm getting a bit off the topic, but you could check the videos in the link below, if you consider cool Bluetooth gadget connection thru TNet in the future.

I'm really interested in Bluetooth connectivity too for use on iOS and Android

Hi Arenmook,

TNet dev month is October, as I've mentioned before. September is all GUI-centric. So no, not yet.

Hi,

Hows TNet Dev October going?  Is Bluetooth still planned?

Thanks.

[ArenMook]

Yes bluetooth is still on the map, and no I haven't done it yet. October is still turning out to be stupidly busy. Between the work on the Unity's UI system, NGUI 3, getting married, and some other stuff going on, I haven't had a chance to do much at all.

No news yet. I'm only delving back into game dev as of about 10 days ago.
