optimize game performance with adaptive performance in unity objective learn how to optimize the performance of a demo game on samsung galaxy devices using the adaptive performance in unity. the adaptive performance package provides you with tools to properly adjust you’re game and improve its overall game performance. overview galaxy gamesdk delivers an interface between game application and device which helps developers optimize their games. integrating unity adaptive performance with galaxy gamesdk allows unity developers to use this feature on unity editor within unity package manager and also customize their game contents by c# scripting. game performance and quality settings can be adjusted in real time by identifying device performance status and heat trends. moreover, using a set of simple ui controls, you can scale the quality of the game to match the device platform. the latest version of adaptive performance, now uses new android apis that gather information from samsung hardware to provide more detailed insights into the device's thermal components and cpu optimization. there are two providers for adaptive performance. the samsung provider 5.0 utilizes apis from the gamesdk, which is supported from samsung galaxy s10 or note10 devices until newer models. on the other hand, the android provider 1.2 uses the android dynamic performance framework (adpf) apis and is supported on devices running android 12 or higher. this code lab focuses on using the samsung provider of adaptive performance. thermal throttling mobile devices lack active cooling systems, causing temperatures to rise. this triggers a warning to the unity subsystems, which lowers hardware demand to control heat and avoid performance degradation. the ideal goal is to make performance stable with low temperature. adaptive performance, primarily for performance and quality balance management, can help achieve this. thermal warning the warning system implemented in gamesdk can trigger both internal unity systems and developer-defined behavior, such as disabling custom scripts and shaders. quality settings it also provides you with the option to adjust the quality of the game to maintain stable performance at different warning levels. you can scale the quality of your game in real time to meet the desired performance. this includes changes in level of detail, animation, physics, and visual effects. scalers with adaptive performance enabled, the game's fps becomes more stable and consistently higher over time. this is because the game adapts its contents based on thermal warnings provided by samsung's thermal callback system. the adaptive performance in unity provides developers with scalers that affect various aspects of the game: frame rate resolution batching level of detail (lod) lookup texture (lut) multisample anti-aliasing (msaa) shadow cascade shadow distance shadow map resolution shadow quality sorting transparency view distance physics decals layer culling these general scalers can be used to scale the content based on your settings in the editor. however, you may also create custom scalers that integrate with your own systems. for instance, your own scalers can disable cpu-expensive scripts from running when thermal warnings are reached. the latest version of adaptive performance, v5.0, includes new additions to the scalers: decal scaler changes the draw distance of decals. it controls how far a decal can be before not being rendered. layer culling scaler adjusts the distance that expensive layers, such as transparency or water, when they start being culled. it’s a useful scaler for scenes with more expensive shader calculations. in every frame, unity calculates how all the physics in a level interacts with everything else, such as when the ball is dropping to the floor. physics scaler adjusts the frequency at which this calculation is performed. a lower frequency means fewer cpu calculations per second. set up your environment you will need the following: unity editor version 2022.3 visual studio or any source code editor supported samsung galaxy device remote test lab (if physical device is not available) requirements: samsung account java runtime environment (jre) 7 or later with java web start internet environment where port 2600 is available sample code here is a sample project for you to start coding in this code lab. download it and start your learning experience! adaptive performance sample code (903.96 mb) demo game the sample project contains a demo game named boat attack. it is an open-source demo game provided by unity. it has the following features: triangles: 800,000 vertices: 771,000 shadow casters: 133 start your project after downloading the sample project, follow the steps to open your project: launch the unity hub. click projects > open. after locating the unzipped project folder, you can open it in unity editor. it initially downloads the needed resources for your project. open benchmark_island-flythrough scene found under assets. notethe project was tested in unity 2022.3. it is recommended to use this version in this code lab. set up adaptive performance components in window > package manager > adaptive performance, you can check if the adaptive performance is already included in the project. go to edit > project settings > adaptive performance. enable the initialize adaptive performance on startup and select samsung android provider. enable the scalers by going to adaptive performance > samsung (android) > indexer settings. check the scaler settings and just use the default values. add adaptive performance script to your project you are going to use a script that contains examples of the adaptive performance api code. it gives you access to the frame time information, thermal information, and cpu/gpu bottlenecks. this script adjusts the performance based on the device's thermal state, allowing longer game time by reducing in-game demands. download the adaptive performance script: adaptiveperformanceconroller.cs (6.20 kb) simply drag and drop the script into assets folder. create a new object and attach the script to the object. change the frame rate based on thermal warnings get to know about thermal warnings throttling warnings allow you to know when your game is about to be forcibly throttled and have sections of lag and lowered frame rate. adaptive performance provides these thermal alerts that allow you to take control and adjust settings before the performance downgrades. check the registered event handler to trigger thermal status: ithermalstatus.thermalstatus.thermalevent then, check thermalmetrics information in the handler. name description value nowarning no warning is the normal warning level during standard thermal state. 0 throttlingimminent if throttling is imminent, the application should perform adjustments to avoid thermal throttling. 1 throttling if the application is in the throttling state, it should make adjustments to go back to normal temperature levels. 2 temperaturelevel (0.0 ~ 1.0) current normalized temperature level in the range of [0, 1]. a value of 0 means standard operation temperature and the device is not in a throttling state. a value of 1 means that the maximum temperature of the device is reached and the device is going into or is already in throttling state. temperaturetrend (-1.0 ~ 1.0) current normalized temperature trend in the range of [-1, 1]. a value of 1 describes a rapid increase in temperature. a value of 0 describes a constant temperature. a value of -1 describes a rapid decrease in temperature. it takes at least 10s until the temperature trend may reflect any changes. adjust the frame rate in the adaptiveperformancecontroller.cs, the following code is responsible for changing the frame rate depending on the current thermal alert: void start () { iadaptiveperformance ap = holder.instance; ap.thermalstatus.thermalevent += onthermalevent; } void onthermalevent(thermalmetrics ev) { switch (ev.warninglevel) { case warninglevel.nowarning: application.targetframerate = 30; break; case warninglevel.throttlingimminent: application.targetframerate = 25; break; case warninglevel.throttling: application.targetframerate = 15; break; } } change the quality settings the performance bottleneck api informs you via an enum value if there is a bottleneck so you can adjust the workload: iadaptiveperformance.performancestatus.performancemetrics.performancebottleneck namespace unityengine.adaptiveperformance { public enum performancebottleneck { unknown = 0, cpu = 1, gpu = 2, targetframerate = 3 } } in the adaptiveperformancecontroller.cs script, the code below is responsible for controlling the lod of the models depending on the performance bottleneck. a model with multiple lod is a prime example of a quality setting that can heavily affect the games performance. lowering it lessens the load on the gpu, frees up resources, and eventually prevents thermal throttling. change the quality setting by adjusting lod in real time by using the performancebottleneck api. switch (ap.performancestatus.performancemetrics.performancebottleneck) // iadaptiveperformance.performancestatus.performancemetrics.performancebottleneck { case performancebottleneck.gpu: debug.logformat("[adp] performancebottleneck.gpu "); break; case performancebottleneck.cpu: debug.logformat("[adp] performancebottleneck.cpu "); raiselod(); break; case performancebottleneck.targetframerate: debug.logformat("[adp] performancebottleneck.targetframerate "); lowerlod(); break; case performancebottleneck.unknown: debug.logformat("[adp] performancebottleneck.unknown"); break; } create a custom scaler to create custom scalers, you need to create a new class that inherits from adaptiveperformancescaler. the adaptive performance package includes this class that can be added to the adaptive performance framework, which adjusts quality settings based on unity's thermal settings. download this custom scaler to control the texture quality of the demo game: texturescaler.cs (1.17 kb) simply drag and drop the downloaded file into the project. test using device simulator in unity the device simulator in unity allows you to test out adaptive performance functionality without a physical mobile device. go to window > general > device simulator. notescaler simulation is only supported in unity 2023.1+. in the device simulator, you can try to send thermal warnings and create artificial bottlenecks to test different behaviors of the demo game. the visual scripts display the scalers available and show if it is enabled. enabling a specific scaler means that the adaptive performance w you can override the scalers to test their impact on the demo game's performance and scene. some scalers may not affect the scene but may improve the performance in the long run. build and launch the apk go to file > build settings. connect your galaxy device. enable development build and select scripts only build option. make sure that the autoconnect profiler is enabled to check the profiler in unity and measure the performance. in build to device, click the patch button to install or update the apk in your device. test using unity profiler unity has also introduced a new module in its profiler that allows you to monitor the scalers changes and extract frame time information to your editor. the profiler allows you to get real-time information from the adaptive performance plugin. navigate to windows > analysis > profiler. set the play mode to your connected galaxy device. once connected, you can analyze the frame time stats and check the state of the scalers during runtime. scalers in this profiler are reacting to the thermal trend and are being raised or lowered in response to the thermal warning. observe the scalers when enabled or disabled texture scaler the texture scaler is the custom script to lower the texture quality based on thermal levels. when enabled and maxed out, the texture fidelity has been lowered. this lowers the gpu load and memory usage. lod scaler you may notice a subtle change in the appearance of the rocks, trees, and umbrella models. this is due to the adaptation of the lod bias that determines which version of the models to use. as the thermal levels rise, lower poly models are selected to reduce the number of triangles rendered. this reduces the gpu load and minimizes thermal build-up. shadow map resolution shadow map resolution creates a blurring effect on the shadows which incidentally lowers the performance load required to render them. basically, lower shadow detail means fewer gpu calculations, which lead to less heat build-up. check the game performance using gpuwatch gpuwatch is a profiling tool for observing gpu activity in your app. the following are the common information shown by the gpuwatch: fps counters current average cpu and gpu load cpu load gpu load it is very helpful in profiling your game during the post-development stage so you can further optimize. to enable gpuwatch on your galaxy device: you can easily reposition the gpuwatch widgets on the screen by enabling unlock widgets under the notification menu of gpuwatch. you’re done! congratulations! you have successfully achieved the goal of this code lab. now, you can improve and optimize your android game on samsung galaxy devices using adaptive performance in unity by learning about scalers, thermal warnings, and bottleneck apis. the performance of your mobile games can be pushed further by utilizing these tools. to learn more, visit:

spring is here and it’s a good time to clean house in your digital world. from your design process to galaxy store presence, it’s important to revisit past work to make sure it’s in top shape. to help you get started, members of the samsung developers community have been sharing advice on how they’ve successfully refined their processes and maintained a strong galaxy store presence. we conclude our ‘refresh for success’ series with olga gabay from zeru studio, known for their beautiful themes, wallpapers and always-on displays. read on to find out how olga maintains design quality in her portfolio. when and why did you start designing themes? i started designing themes over three years ago, without any prior experience in this field. however, being a graphic designer for 26 years, i already had a process that could take me from an initial inspiration to an end product. first, i make a quick sketch with my tablet, search for the matching stock material, then create a series of 3-4 quick drafts that will represent the home screen, lock screen, messenger and dial pad backgrounds. these images may vary from modified stock photos to complex digital art that may take many hours to complete. once i’m satisfied with my design, i finalize it in galaxy themes studio. in my first year, i was trying to figure out the market demand and create various seasonal products. then i discovered promotional events are better for building demand than following popular topics. so, in my second year i put a lot of effort into chasing the upcoming events calendar. it wasn’t until the middle of my third year that i gave up following common requests. i decided to come up with designs based on my current mood and whatever comes to mind. also, i stopped thinking about how many sales this or that theme can make. theme designs by zeru studio how often do you revisit your old designs and update them? from time to time, as long as refreshing the given binary is still available. whenever i need to update a theme for a new samsung device, i run through all the major screens and give them a fresh look. i almost always end up fixing at least a few colors, addressing visibility issues, and updating keyboard buttons or some other ui graphic elements. it might take a tremendous amount of time, but there is still value in prioritizing these updates over creating brand new themes during the active updating season, typically at the end/start of a year. if there is a new feature being rolled out with a scheduled one ui update, i will go through all my old themes and decide which ones to update. recently, i added video call screen backgrounds to over 25 of my existing themes, despite it not having any sales or promotional value. it's my way of showing appreciation to those who still use my products and it gives me a sense of professional satisfaction. when new platforms are released, do you check to make sure all designs are working? it's way too time consuming and not even possible on the newer devices to re-check all old binaries. instead, i prefer reacting to user feedback. sometimes, i will check for certain issues (most often contrast or icon/text visibility) to make sure everything is okay after the latest one ui updates. i rely on the remote test lab (rtl) on a regular basis to check designs, because i don’t keep old galaxy devices. are there any specific files you would recommend to always keep handy? keep literally everything! extra disk or cloud space is not that expensive nowadays. it's very important to keep all source files like vector formats, psds, hi-resolution images and videos. image fonts, icons, buttons and backgrounds tend to change in size and proportion with every new device, and that's when old files become handy. also, source files are often needed to create promotional materials. what’s the one piece of advice you’d give a designer about organizing their work to keep it fresh? it’s difficult to give advice that’s helpful to every type of designer. some bigger companies who are producing thousands of designs might want to be very organized, but smaller operations might be more comfortable in a system that looks a bit chaotic from the outside. the best advice i can give is to find what works for you so organizing is easy and doesn’t feel like a chore. thanks to olga for sharing helpful advice on improving the design process and refreshing old themes to maintain their quality. you can connect with olga and zeru studio on instagram, facebook, and twitter. you can also check out zeru studio’s full collection of themes in galaxy store. we hope you found our ‘refresh for success’ series helpful in getting your digital refresh started. remember, making galaxy store updates is key to keeping your seller account active. you need two activities every three months that trigger an app review by the seller portal team. an activity takes many forms, and can be anything from uploading a new app, to updating a current app, hanging the description or adding/updating photos. however, changing the price of an app does not count. follow us on twitter at @samsung_dev for more developer interviews and tips for designing themes, watch faces, and more for galaxy store.

sample project, you need to parse the ibi data collected while tracking the heart rate-related data. the updatelistener collects datapoint instances from the watch, which contains a collection of valuekey objects. those objects contain heart rate, ibi values, and ibi statuses. there's always one value for heart rate while the number of ibi values vary from 0-4. both ibi value and ibi status lists have the same size. go to the wear > java > data > com.samsung.health.hrdatatransfer. under ibidataparsing.kt, provide the implementation for the function below: /******************************************************************************* * [practice 1] get list of valid inter-beat interval values from a datapoint * - return arraylist<int> of valid ibi values (validibilist) * - if no ibi value is valid, return an empty arraylist * * var ibivalues is a list representing ibivalues (up to 4) * var ibistatuses is a list of their statuses (has the same size as ibivalues) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * - (hints) * use local function: isibivalid(status, value) to check validity of ibi * ****************************************************************************/ fun getvalidibilist(datapoint: datapoint): arraylist<int> { val ibivalues = datapoint.getvalue(valuekey.heartrateset.ibi_list) val ibistatuses = datapoint.getvalue(valuekey.heartrateset.ibi_status_list) val validibilist = arraylist<int>() //todo 1 return validibilist } check data sending capabilities for the watch once the heart rate tracker can collect data, set it up so it can send data to a paired android mobile device. first, check if the devices within range have proper capabilities. the capability data type is a string and is used when sending a message on both devices. go to the wear > java > com.samsung.health.hrdatatransfer > data. in capabilityrepositoryimpl.kt, and fill in the function below: /************************************************************************************** * [practice 2] check capabilities for reachable remote nodes (devices) * - return a set of node objects out of all capabilities represented by 2nd function * argument, having the capability represented by 1st function argument. * - return empty set if no node has the capability -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * - (hints) * you might want to use filtervalues function on the given allcapabilities map * ***********************************************************************************/ override suspend fun getnodesforcapability( capability: string, allcapabilities: map<node, set<string>> ): set<node> { //todo 2 } the purpose of this exercise is to identify which nodes have the exact capability you are looking for (represented by capability argument). you need those nodes later to send the message to them. encode message for the watch before sending the results of the heart rate and ibi to the paired mobile device, you need to encode the message into a string. go to the wear > java > com.samsung.health.hrdatatransfer > domain. in sendmessageusecase.kt, fill in the function below and use json format to encode the list of results (arraylist<trackeddata>) into a string: /*********************************************************************** * [practice 3] - encode heart rate & inter-beat interval into string * - encode function argument (trackeddata) into json format. * - return the encoded string ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * - (hint) * use json.encodetostring function **********************************************************************/ fun encodemessage(trackeddata: arraylist<trackeddata>): string { //todo 3 } run unit tests for your convenience, you will find an additional unit tests package. this will let you verify your code changes even without using a physical watch or mobile device. see the instruction below on how to run unit tests: right click on com.samsung.health.hrdatatransfer (test), and execute run 'tests in 'com.samsung.health.hrdatatransfer" command. do the same step with the mobile module. if you have completed all the tasks correctly, you will see all the unit tests pass successfully. run the app after building the apks, you can run the applications on your watch to measure heart rate and ibi values, and on your mobile device to collect the data from your watch. once the app starts, allow the app to receive data from the body sensors. afterwards, it shows the application's main screen. to get the heart rate and ibi values, tap the start button. tap the send button to send the data to your mobile device. notethe watch keeps last ~40 values of heart rate and ibi. you’re done! congratulations! you have successfully achieved the goal of this code lab. now, you can create a health app on a watch to measure heart rate and ibi, and develop a mobile app that receives that health data! to learn more about samsung
