Wortal SDK for HTML5

Integration

Add the SDK Core script in the <head> of your game's index.html before any game scripts.

using the stable version (1.8.0)

<script src="https://storage.googleapis.com/html5gameportal.com/wortal-sdk/v1/wortal-core.js"></script>

using the development version (1.9.0)

<script src="https://storage.googleapis.com/html5gameportal.com/wortal-sdk/v1.9.0/wortal-core.js"></script>

Initialization

Auto initialization

By default, the SDK will initialize itself automatically. This is the recommended way to initialize the SDK.

The SDK will be ready for use after Wortal.isInitialized returns true. It will also fire the wortal-sdk-initialized window event at this time.

if (Wortal.isInitialized) {
    // SDK is ready to use.
}

window.addEventListener('wortal-sdk-initialized', () => {
    // SDK is ready to use.
});

Manual initialization

Alternatively, you can initialize the SDK manually. This is useful if the game has large asset bundles that take some time to download. Follow these steps to enable manual initialization:

  • Add the data-manual-init="true" attribute to the SDK script tag:

<script src="https://storage.googleapis.com/html5gameportal.com/wortal-sdk/wortal-core-x.x.js" data-manual-init="true"></script>

  • Call Wortal.initializeAsync() as early as possible in your game's initialization code, then Wortal.startGameAsync() when your game has finished loading and is ready for play.
Wortal.initializeAsync().then(() => {
    // SDK is ready to use.
    // Wait for game to finish loading.
    Wortal.setLoadingProgress(100);
    Wortal.startGameAsync();
});

Loading Progress

Report the loading progress of the game in your initialization code. The game will not start until the loading progress reaches 100%.

// Set the progress value to a number between 0 and 100 to report the loading progress of your game.
Wortal.setLoadingProgress(progress);

How to Use

Ads

API Reference

Interstitial ads can be shown at various points in the game such as a level end, restart or a timed interval in games with longer levels.

// noFill is optional and will call afterAd if not provided.
Wortal.ads.showInterstitial('placement', 'description', beforeAd, afterAd, noFill);

// Player reached the next level.
Wortal.ads.showInterstitial('next', 'NextLevel', pauseGame, resumeGame, resumeAfterNoFill);

// Player paused the game.
Wortal.ads.showInterstitial('pause', 'PausedGame', pauseGame, resumeGame);

// Player opened the IAP shop.
Wortal.ads.showInterstitial('browse', 'BrowseShop', pauseAudio, resumeAudio);

Rewarded ads can be shown too. These are longer, optional ads that the player can earn a reward for watching. The player must be notified of the ad and give permission to show before it can be shown.

// noFill is optional and will call afterAd if not provided.
Wortal.ads.showRewarded('description', beforeAd, afterAd, adDismissed, adViewed, noFill);

// This example shows the game flow independent of the outcome of the ad.
// Ex: Player gets bonus coins for watching the ad, but the game continues regardless of the outcome.
Wortal.ads.showRewarded('BonusCoins', pauseGame, resumeGame, skipBonus, addBonusCoins);

// This example shows the game flow depending on the outcome of the ad.
// Ex: Player dies and can revive by watching an ad, but if they skip the ad they lose the level.
Wortal.ads.showRewarded('ReviveAndContinue', pauseAudio, resumeAudio, endGame, continueGame);

NOTE: Players should only be rewarded in the adViewed callback.

Analytics

API Reference

The Analytics API can be used to track game events that can help better understand how players are interacting with the game. This data will be available for viewing in the Wortal dashboard.

// Logs the start of the level.
Wortal.analytics.logLevelStart('Level 3');

// Logs the end of the level. Will track the time spent playing the level if the name matches
// the name of the last logLevelStart() call.
Wortal.analytics.logLevelEnd('Level 3', '100', true);

// Logs a choice the player made in the game. This can be useful for balancing the game
// and seeing what content your players interact with the most.
Wortal.analytics.logGameChoice('Character', 'Blue');

Context

API Reference

The Context API is used to connect players and allow them to interact in the game session, share their content and send messages to each other.

// Invite a friend to play the game. Does not switch the player's current context.
Wortal.context.inviteAsync({
    image: 'data:base64image',
    text: 'Invite text',
    cta: 'Play',
    data: { exampleData: 'yourData' },
}).then(() => console.log("Invite sent"));

// Share your game activity with friends.
Wortal.context.shareAsync({
    image: 'data:base64image',
    text: 'Share text',
    cta: 'Play',
    data: { exampleData: 'yourData' },
}).then(result => console.log(result));

In-App Purchases

API Reference

The In-App Purchases (IAP) API is used to provide an interface for in-game transactions on the platforms. This process will differ based on what platform the game is being played on, but the API remains the same.

// Get the catalog of products the player can purchase.
Wortal.iap.getCatalogAsync()
    .then(products => console.log(products));

// Purchase a product.
Wortal.iap.makePurchaseAsync({
    productID: 'my_product_123',
}).then(purchase => console.log(purchase));

Leaderboards

API Reference

The Leaderboard API gives the game access to the platform's leaderboard functionality. This is where you can track player's scores and compare them to other players.

// Get the top 10 entries on the global leaderboard.
Wortal.leaderboard.getEntriesAsync('global', 10)
    .then(entries => console.log(entries));

// Add the player's score to the leaderboard.
Wortal.leaderboard.sendEntryAsync('global', 100);

Notifications

API Reference

The Notifications API is used to send notifications to the player. These can be used to notify the player of an event in the game or to remind them to come back and play.

// Schedule a notification to send to the player.
Wortal.notifications.scheduleAsync({
    title: "Your energy is full!",
    body: "Come back and play again.",
    mediaURL: "https://example.com/image.png",
    label: "resources-full",
    scheduleInterval: 300 // 5 minutes
}).then((result) => {
    console.log(result.id);
});

// Cancel a scheduled notification.
Wortal.notifications.cancelAsync('notification-id-123')
    .then((result) => {
        console.log(result);
    });

Player

API Reference

You can find details about the current player via the Player API.

// Get the player's name.
Wortal.player.getName();

// Get a list of the player's friends who have also played this game.
Wortal.player.getConnectedPlayersAsync({
    filter: 'ALL',
    size: 20,
    hoursSinceInvitation: 4,
}).then(players => console.log(players.length));

Session

API Reference

Details about the current session can be accessed in the Session API.

// Get the entry point of where the game started from.
Wortal.session.getEntryPointAsync()
 .then(entryPoint => console.log(entryPoint));

// Get the entry point data from a social invite or share.
// This is useful for tracking where players are coming from or
// providing a reward for players who were invited to play.
const data = Wortal.session.getEntryPointData();
console.log(data);

Tournament

API Reference

The Tournament API is used to create and manage tournaments for your game.

// Create a tournament.
const payload = {
    initialScore: 100,
    config: {
        title: "Level 1 Tournament",
    },
    data: {
        level: 1,
    },
};

Wortal.tournament.createAsync(payload)
    .then(tournament => console.log(tournament.payload["level"]));

// Post a score to a tournament.
Wortal.tournament.postScoreAsync(200)
    .then(() => console.log("Score posted!"));
