Connecting to Interactive

Authorization

In order to connect to interactive and create a session you must first get authorization from the user.

// Get an authorization token for the user to pass to the connect function.
std::string authorization;
int error = authorize(authorization);
if (error) return error;

See the Authorization page for more details.

Create a session

Create a session by calling interactive_open_session with the previously obtained authorization string.

// Connect to the user's interactive channel, using the interactive project specified by the version ID.
interactive_session session;
int error = interactive_open_session(authorization.c_str(), INTERACTIVE_ID, SHARE_CODE, true, &session);
if (error) return error;

Register callbacks that you want to handle

You will almost certainly want to handle on_input and perhaps some other callbacks such as on_error or on_state_changed.

err = interactive_register_input_handler(session, handle_interactive_input);
if (err) return err;

Handling input

See Handling Input for more details about how you might handle input from the interactive service.
