When I was reading GoT, the food from Joffrey’s wedding made me drool.. and I was thinking, I should try making some of those dishes (except I can’t cook and Google recipes can only get you so far…) So brilliant, a cookbook!
That’s right — there is now an official Game of Thronescookbook. And while it doesn’t include a recipe for sauteed horse heart a la khaleesi, it isstuffed with Westerosi dishes that actually sound scrumptious… as well as a guide to making honeyed locusts. We interviewed the authors of A Feast of Ice and Fire about the challenges of cooking fictional food, weird medieval recipes, and which fantastical world they’d like to tackle next. Hint: It rhymes with “Larry Totter.”

“Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see” (Hebrews 11:1, NLT)
So many people today get down and discouraged because they only focus on their present circumstances. They’re constantly dwelling on their problems, what they don’t have, and what’s wrong with them. They don’t realize it, but they’re allowing the enemy to steal their hope. This negative frame of mind is what keeps people from moving forward in life.
Understand today that faith is confidence and assurance about the things we hope for according to the promises of God. Like an arrow, your faith points to the target of hope. If you don’t have hope, that arrow of faith has nothing to aim for. It won’t accomplish anything. But when you keep your hopes up, when you keep expecting and believing, it’s like making that target larger and larger and easier to hit!
Choose today to live with an attitude of expectancy. Don’t focus on your circumstances; focus on your God! Get your hopes up! Take captive every negative thought. As you focus on God’s goodness and faithfulness, you’ll feel that hope inside of you growing. Give your faith a target and move forward confidently in the direction of your dreams!

3 Ways To Capture A Screenshot In Unity3D
[video]
-without shelling out $65 ;)
Well, if you have $65 to spare, just check out Prime31’s Social Networking plugin (you can even get Twitter!).
Link: http://www.prime31.com/unity/
If you don’t, like 1-broke-girl/me, read on…
There are two parts to this, Unity side and Xcode side. We must find a way for Unity and Xcode to be friends and talk to one another, you know call each others’ functions, access each others’ variables etc.
First let’s take advantage of NSUserDefaults and PlayerPrefs to save some variables (you may encrypt the score variable if you are afraid of cheaters).
PlayerPrefs in Unity…
PlayerPrefs.SetString(“score”, score.ToString());
… can be read in Xcode using…
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *score = [defaults objectForKey:@”score”];
There, we know how to pass variables, what about functions…?
In order to do that, I read this tut, which is in Simplified Chinese! (http://xys289187120.blog.51cto.com/3361352/705415). The gist of that tutorial is that you create this other class (let’s just call it Facebook.cs):
using UnityEngine;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
public class Facebook : MonoBehaviour {
[DllImport(“__Internal”)]
private static extern void _PressButton0 ();
public static void ActivateButton0 ()
{ if (Application.platform != RuntimePlatform.OSXEditor)
{ _PressButton0 ();
}
}
}
The _PressButton0() will actually call some code in Xcode (we’ll get to that).
Someone else in Unity has to call ActivateButton0, a GUI button, perhaps?
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 0, 130, 235), “Facebook”))
{ Facebook.ActivateButton0();
}
So when the player clicks on the GUI button, ActivateButton0() will be called which will in turn call _PressButton0().
But where’s _PressButton0()?
We create a ViewController class in Xcode (let’s just call it MyView.m):
#import “MyView.h”
#import “AppController.h”
@implementation MyView
void _PressButton0()
{ AppController *appController = (AppController*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[appController feedDialogButtonClicked];
}
@end
So there’s _PressButton0()!
Now let’s do the Facebook related things. Go to Facebook’s Developer site and follow the tutorial: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/ios/build/
Instead of putting some stuff in ApplicationDidFinishLaunchingWithIOptions… I placed everything in a function I called feedDialogButtonClicked.
- (void) feedDialogButtonClicked {
facebook = [[Facebook alloc] initWithAppId:@”221872691249521” andDelegate:self];
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
if ([defaults objectForKey:@”FBAccessTokenKey”]
&& [defaults objectForKey:@”FBExpirationDateKey”]) {
facebook.accessToken = [defaults objectForKey:@”FBAccessTokenKey”];
facebook.expirationDate = [defaults objectForKey:@”FBExpirationDateKey”];
}
/**
if (![facebook isSessionValid])
{ [facebook authorize: nil];
}
**/
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
NSString *level = [defaults objectForKey:@”level”];
NSString *score = [defaults objectForKey:@”score”];
NSMutableDictionary *params =
[NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSString stringWithFormat: @”I just scored %@ in the %@ Level of Maru Penguin!”, score, level], @”name”,
@”“, @”caption”,
@”Get Maru Penguin for free in the iTunes Store”, @”description”,
@”http://itunes.apple.com/tw/app/maru-penguin/id521096937?mt=8”, @”link”,
@”http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/082/Purple/v4/3a/42/b5/3a42b5dc-5452-9dde-cdc8-24e24fb82363/486SkNsbbo2zaF3glfCuo0-temp-upload.iomrjeon.320x480-75.jpg”, @”picture”,
nil];
[facebook dialog:@”feed”
andParams:params
andDelegate:self];
}
I had a little problem with fbDidLogin (the one mentioned in the tutorial), good thing this other tutorial solved it for me: http://ebrentnelson.blogspot.com/2012/02/fbdidlogin-never-calledwhy.html
I ended up commenting out:
/**
if (![facebook isSessionValid])
{ [facebook authorize: nil];
}
**/
Because I seem to be able to post feeds to my Facebook wall even without it (don’t know why, anyone care to explain?).
Another helpful link: How to include a link in my feed-post using FBConnect from iPhone app? (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5574433/how-to-include-a-link-in-my-feed-post-using-fbconnect-from-iphone-app) This answer in this post explains stuff that you can include in your Feed Dialog pretty clearly.
And um, I think that is it. That bunch of codes can post your scores from Unity iOS to Facebook.
Now my other problem is, how to add a share link to the feed my app posted? Anyone, help?
Also check out an old blog post of mine about how to post pictures from Cocos2D iPhone to Facebook: http://purplelilgirl.tumblr.com/post/9406805856/howtoaddfacebooktococos2diphone
EDIT:
Since generated feeds don’t get the share button (I Google-d for 2 days and found nothing, at the end of it, it was a Which Avengers are You? quiz that helped me solve my problem) , do you know what I eventually did? I went back to that Cocos2D blog post and did it that way (That’s what the Avengers app did, by the way, I’m Hawkeye :D). I posted a photo of the results screen, lol, which is actually what my boss suggested in the first place. And since when you post photos, you can include captions (no advertising though), so there. Problem solved -ish.
EDIT:
Okay, I am apparently not a very good Googler, since only saw this today: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/122681-Free-facebook-Plugin-for-Unity-iOS Free, Facebook, Unity, iOS, all the keywords that I’ve been searching for, all along was in the Unity Forums!

By the way, we made an app (the one in the sample), it’s a game and it’s free and it stars a penguin named Maru in search of yummy fishies around the world (so far he only got to Asia)…
