Hello, everyone!

In the last game jams, I had been re-doing and re-doing a wrapper for the Newgrounds Unity API over and over again. It wasn’t been redone from scratch because I reused the basics of the last version but I kept adding improvements to it.

I never got to have something very complete for it, the most complete one was used for making Yemita since it was for the Newgrounds July Jam 2021 and it used the medals and scoreboards features.

I personally was very grateful for the Newgrounds Unity API implementation but I always tried to make a wrapper around it to simplify my needs and call it as easy as possible. Without having to throw a lot of references everywhere or worried about it being duplicated.

Because of this, I decided to create the Newgrounds Unity API Helper!

Newgrounds Unity API Helper

The Newgrounds Unity API Helper is a wrapper that tries to be more friendly for developers that use mostly Unity when trying to use the Newgrounds API. It also tries to simplify its use by making the request through a single calling method or giving extra performance functionality.

Even the API is already very useful as it is and you can do everything with it, I personally preferred to always create a wrapper in order to work more comfortably. The main goal of the wrapper is to simplify the use of the API and even add a few performance tricks. Feel free to use it or ask for help if you need it/propose improvements by using the Issues section.

And you can read the whole documentation on how to use it in the readme.

Of course, you can still do everything with the official one, but if you are trying to use the API for the first time, don’t have too much or simply you feel the official version may be a bit too difficult, consider using this wrapper I made.

Let me know if you use it and how was your experience with it! I hope someone finds it useful :)
