No demo games on FTP

Post by SuryaVL »

According to the documentation, after making my developer account and setting up the FTP connection, I should find the "Hearts" demo game in my FTP home folder. However, that folder was completely empty until I set up a first game. Of course that first game only has the template and which doesn't have much to go on. Did I miss something?

BGA changed the system.
Now you have to get read-only access from the project list to view those demo projects.

Can you give me the link doc on when you read this? I will update it to explain the way to get access to those projects.

Check that your remote home folder contains one folder for two example games (reversi, hearts). If you have already created a new game project, one additional folder should be in your "home" folder. Note: example project are only for code reference they cannot be use as studio project (i.e. run on website)
