This demo console shows you how to use the Google Play Games Management API to manage and test Google Play Games Features.

The sample uses Bower and Polymer to simplify the UI and dependencies of the project.

For Bower, you need to install Node.js. After node is installed, install the Bower package by calling:

npm install -g bower

After Bower is installed, you are ready to update the project dependencies with Bower by running:

bower install

With the dependencies set, serve the demo-utils folder from a web server. For example, you can use the Python Simple HTTP server module by running:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer [port]

With the web server running, navigate to /demo/demo.html and you should see the sample load.

First, create a client ID for Web applications from the Google Play Developer Console within the project that you want to manage.

Replace REPLACE_CLIENT_ID in demo.html with your app's client ID and also replace REPLACE_APP_ID in js/constants.js with the app ID for your Games Services ID from the Google Play Developer Console.

When you open the sample, you will notice four tabs:

1. Achievements
2. Leaderboards
3. Events/Quests
4. Snapshots

Each of these tabs corresponds to the Play Games Services features associated with that feature area.

From this page, you can:

• Unlock achievements
• Increment achievement counts
• Reset achievements
• Reset all achievements

This is useful for when you want to simulate the achievement features of your game.

From this page you can:

• Check leaderboards
• Show high scores for leaderboards
• Show / hide players
• Submit high scores to leaderboards
• Reset player scores on leaderboards

This is both useful for testing and for managing scores for test accounts or hiding players who are cheating.

From this page, you can:

• List events
• List quests
• Simulate events
• Accept quests
• Reset quests
• Reset events for quests

This is useful for testing your quests before you publish without having to actually play through or complete the quests.

From this page, you can

• List snapshots
• Look at snapshot data
• Alter data within snapshots

This is useful for testing your snapshot data.

Note Writing snapshot data from the Web API is experimental and should not be done on production data.
