Automagically configure Play Games samples using the Publishing API

Play Game Services Magic Configuration

A tool that uses the Play Game Services Publishing API to automatically configure achievements and leaderboards for pre-configured samples.

Description

The config-magic tool is a web interface for the Play Game Services Publishing API. Using this tool, you can automatically create Leaderboards and Achievements for your Play Game Services projects. This makes it easier to get started with sample applications that may require you to create many achievements and leaderboards.

Architecture

• index.html and index.js - the main page and logic for the applicatio. Contains all of the UI and associated logic.
• config-form.html and config-form.js - define the <config-form> Polymer element. Contains all of the logic for interacting with the Publishing API to create Leaderboards, Achievements, etc.
• info.js - defines the configs variable which tells the application what Leaderboards and Achievements are required to configure a given sample. This is referenced in index.html in the infofile attribute of the config-form element. When navigating to index.html the sample?=... query parameter is read from the URL and used to determine which sample the user would like to configure.

Usage

The config-magic tool is currently deployed alonside the android-basic-samples repository in order to automatically configure leaderboards and samples. The tool is modeled as a static website that can be hosted on Github Pages or any other static hosting provider.
