Archery of The King – Unity Game Project + Admob + Gdpr

Introduction

Welcome to this comprehensive tutorial on integrating Admob and GDPR into the Archery of the King Unity game project. As a developer, it's essential to monetize your game to ensure its sustainability. Admob, a popular mobile advertising platform, allows you to easily integrate ads into your game. Additionally, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires developers to comply with specific guidelines for collecting and processing user data.

In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of setting up Admob and GDPR in your Archery of the King Unity game project. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a fully functional game with Admob ads and GDPR compliance.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have:

1. Unity installed on your computer (we'll be using Unity 2020.3 or later)
2. The Archery of the King game project created in Unity
3. A basic understanding of Unity and C#
4. An Admob account created (sign up on the Admob website)
5. A valid Google Analytics account (optional, but recommended)

Step 1: Set up Admob

1. Open your Admob account and navigate to the "Apps" tab
2. Click on "Create App" and follow the prompts to create a new app
3. Once created, note down the "App ID" and "API Key" (you'll need these later)
4. In your Unity project, go to the "Assets" folder and create a new folder named "Admob"
5. Create a new C# script in the "Admob" folder and name it "AdmobManager.cs"
6. Open the script and add the following code:

   
   using UnityEngine;
   using Google.Mobile Ads;

public class AdmobManager : MonoBehaviour { private InterstitialAd interstitial; private RewardedVideoAd rewardedVideoAd;

void Start()
{
    RequestInterstitial();
    RequestRewardedVideo();
}

void RequestInterstitial()
{
    interstitial = new InterstitialAd("YOUR_APP_ID_HERE", "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE");
    interstitial.LoadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().Build());
}

void RequestRewardedVideo()
{
    rewardedVideoAd = new RewardedVideoAd("YOUR_APP_ID_HERE", "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE");
    rewardedVideoAd.LoadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().Build());
}

void ShowInterstitial()
{
    if (interstitial.IsLoaded())
    {
        interstitial.Show();
    }
}

void ShowRewardedVideo()
{
    if (rewardedVideoAd.IsLoaded())
    {
        rewardedVideoAd.Show();
    }
}

}

Replace "YOUR_APP_ID_HERE" and "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" with the values from your Admob account.

**Step 2: Integrate Admob Ads**

1. In your Unity project, go to the "Scene" menu and select "Create" > "UI" > "Image"
2. Name the image "AdmobBanner" and position it at the bottom of the screen
3. Select the "AdmobBanner" image and open the "Inspector" window
4. In the "Inspector" window, select the "Image" component and set the "Sprite" to "Admob Banner"
5. In the "AdmobBanner" image, add the following code to the "Image" component:
```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using Google.Mobile Ads;

public class AdmobBanner : MonoBehaviour
{
    private BannerView bannerView;

    void Start()
    {
        bannerView = new BannerView("YOUR_APP_ID_HERE", AdSize.SmartBanner, AdPosition.Bottom);
        bannerView.LoadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().Build());
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (bannerView.IsLoaded())
        {
            bannerView.Show();
        }
    }
}

Replace "YOUR_APP_ID_HERE" with the value from your Admob account.

Step 3: Implement GDPR Compliance

1. In your Unity project, go to the "Assets" folder and create a new folder named "GDPR"
2. Create a new C# script in the "GDPR" folder and name it "GDPRManager.cs"
3. Open the script and add the following code:

   
   using UnityEngine;
   using System.Collections.Generic;

public class GDPRManager : MonoBehaviour { private List permissions = new List();

void Start()
{
    RequestPermissions();
}

void RequestPermissions()
{
    // Request permission to access camera
    permissions.Add("android.permission.CAMERA");
    // Request permission to access microphone
    permissions.Add("android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO");
    // Request permission to access storage
    permissions.Add("android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE");
    // Request permission to access location
    permissions.Add("android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION");
}

void ShowGDPRDialog()
{
    // Create a dialog to ask for permission
    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(GetComponent<MainActivity>());
    builder.SetMessage("We need to access the following permissions:")
       .SetPositiveButton("Allow", (sender, e) =>
        {
            // Request permission
            RequestPermissions();
        })
       .SetNegativeButton("Deny", (sender, e) =>
        {
            // Do nothing
        });
    AlertDialog dialog = builder.Create();
    dialog.Show();
}

}

This script requests permissions for camera, microphone, storage, and location. You can modify the permissions to suit your game's requirements.

**Step 4: Implement GDPR Dialog**

1. In your Unity project, go to the "Assets" folder and create a new folder named "Dialogs"
2. Create a new UI Canvas in the "Dialogs" folder and name it "GDPRDialog"
3. In the "GDPRDialog" UI Canvas, add a new UI Button and name it "Allow"
4. In the "Allow" button's OnClick event, add the following code:
```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class AllowButton : MonoBehaviour
{
    void OnClick()
    {
        // Request permission
        GDPRManager gDPRManager = GetComponent<GDPRManager>();
        gDPRManager.RequestPermissions();
    }
}

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully integrated Admob and GDPR into your Archery of the King Unity game project. Make sure to test your game on different devices and platforms to ensure the ads and GDPR compliance work correctly.

Remember to replace the placeholder values in the code with your actual Admob account values and update the permissions in the GDPR script to suit your game's requirements. Happy gaming!
