Test in Unity - Starter Kit

Test your game in the Unity Editor

Press Play in the Unity Editor to test your game. Once the scene loads, press J to simulate a player joining the game. The MadderControllerTest script will simulate the Madder Controller input. You should see a large stick figure appear on the screen and move in a random direction. Press J again and you will see second stick figure appear and move in another random direction.

In the SamplePlayerInput asset, we have also bound the player’s movement to to the WASD keys. This binding only applies to the first player to join; the rest will be controlled solely by the Madder controller. We did this so it’s easier to directly test input when needed in the Unity Editor.

Manual Testing

If you would like to test other inputs from the Madder controller, you can follow the same pattern that is found in the MadderControllerTest script. Simply create a JSON object with the input in the following format:

        {
            "name":" "gamer1",
            "joystick":
            {
                "x": 0.1f,
                "y": 0.1f
            },
            "circle": true,
            "triangle": false,
            "plus": false
        }

Simply creating a MadderControllerState object, parsing it into a JSON string, and passing it to the MadderManager could work but is not recommended. The Madder server sends the controller state with slightly different formatting than the MadderControllerState object. The MadderManager will handle the conversion for you. See the MadderManager documentation for more information.
