This SDK allows manipulation of a resources folder from an "over the air update" OTA file for Anki Vector and the APK files for Anki Cozmo, in any .NET language (C#, VB.NET, F#) or language that interoperates (python) on Windows, Mac, and Linux. This requires that you know how to get these files, and how extract the contents.

• You can play the audio sounds on your computer

• Examine the sprite-sequences, and other animations on your computer,

• It has lint-like checking to help catch flaws in the resource bundle, so that they can be eliminated before shipping, reducing the test effort

There is some support for Cozmo resources.

Note: This SDK is not a product of Anki or Digital Dream Labs, and is not supported by them.

If you working on Windows, download Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition to get started. This version is free for personal use.

• Download Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition

To get started on Mac and Linux, you can download .NET Core 3.0.

To play audio you will need to add the following packages to your project:

• NAudio
• NVorbis
• NAudio.Vorbis

To play with the sprites you will need to add the following packages to your project:

• System.Drawing.Common

• Github
• Nuget

Some examples of how to use the SDK can be found at

• Anki.Resources.Samples GitHub project

The documentation, when browsed from a local filesystem, may require tweaking the browser.

Go to about:config and make change to the following:

• security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy set to false
• privacy.file_unique_origin set to false

You can not use Chrome with a local file system. You can, however, use an extension like "Web Server for Chrome"

Thank-you to the vgmstream and ww2ogg projects, whose efforts allowed decoding of the audio files.

Wayne Venables, you set a very high bar with Anki.Vector.SDK I lifted some of your index.md getting started information for here.
