The account is shared across every demo in the showroom, so items and currency you get in one demo carry over to the others. Loading takes a moment. If the frame is too small, open the demo in a new tab. ## Overview This demo banks one point each time an ad view completes and spends one point when a reward is claimed. The showroom runs as a WebGL page in the browser, where the mobile-only ad SDKs (Unity Ads, LevelPlay, AdMob) cannot run, so no real advertisement plays. Instead a panel stands in for the ad placement, and everything after the title decides "the view finished", which is GS2's part, runs for real. ## How to try it 1. **Balance** under **Ad view point** shows the banked points, e.g. **0 view(s) banked**. 1. Press **Ad break**; an **Advertisement** panel opens and explains why no ad plays. Wait for the **You can continue in 5s.** countdown to finish. 1. Press **I finished watching**; the page tells GS2 the view completed and asks for the point, and **Balance** goes up by 1. Pressing **Close** instead grants nothing. 1. Press **Spend**; one point is consumed and **Balance** goes down by 1. In a shipped title, the point is granted from the ad network's completion callback where **I finished watching** sits here. Deciding that a view really happened is the title's job. ## GS2 services used - [GS2-AdReward](/microservices/ad_reward/): A GS2-AdReward namespace holds each player's view points. Points are granted with `Gs2AdReward:AcquirePointByUserId` and consumed with `Gs2AdReward:ConsumePointByUserId`; granting does not verify the view itself. - [GS2-Exchange](/microservices/exchange/): Two GS2-Exchange rates define the transactions that grant one point (**I finished watching**) and consume one point (**Spend**), and run them server-side automatically. ## Use it in GS2 Studio In GS2 Studio's Simple mode, open **Add features** and press **Add** on **Ads** to bring this feature into your own project.
